Roy Hodgson fielded his strongest eleven for 90 minutes and their intent to win the game was never any doubt, but Wolves remained steadfast and stay six points clear of the relegation zone.
Whether a drifting cloud of volcanic ash is reflecting light over West London or not is unknown, but there is a distinct brightness about Craven Cottage at the moment.
Despite a first half bordering on the tedious, the home supporters catalysed a cheerful atmosphere in the spring sunshine, clearly revelling in their team's most prosperous season for decades, and a juicy Europa League semi-final versus Hamburg of Germany on Thursday night.
Wolves and their supporters, however, had more worrying matters such as relegation at hand than an ice-cream perhaps, and they didn't wait around for Fulham to melt.
Kevin Doyle continued to make defenders sweat as the lone striker, more so than Bobby Zamora in this half certainly, running the line and keeping possession the Wayne Rooney way.
Surprisingly though, it was right-back Ronald Zubar who perhaps had the best chance for the men in orange, popping up unmarked on the edge of the box after the ball was cleared to volley wide of the post on 23 minutes.
Doyle could also have put the visitors ahead, wrestling free of Aaron Hughes' oppression and shooting just an inch or so wide of the near post just over ten minutes later.
The Sun's volume of energy must have finally kicked in after the break as both sides increased the pace of passing. Wolves continue to defy criticisms as a non-footballing team, knocking it freely between their opponents.
But as far as slap-in-the-face chances go, little was created with numerous efforts whistling over the goal-frame and into the crowd. Danny Murphy continues to plead guilty to this, soaring an effort high and wide from 20 yards on the hour mark.
Zamora came the closest for Fulham late on, hitting the post in his only startlingly lively moment in the game.
In typical Zamora fashion he received the ball at his feet, turned like a Swift and smacked a right-foot shot against the post after 65 minutes.
