Meant to write this last week, but i forgot ... :whistling:

In last weeks "Working in the shed" episode, i picked up the sand sealer only to find it had jellified in the container that i keep it in, which is a plastic sauce bottle. I have had this for well over year on mix it 50/50 with thinners. Didn't know this stuff went off? :down:

Can you reconstitute it with some heat and a tad of fresh thinners? Dont boil it though. I always use hot waxes and warmed sealers its easier to apply and builds a better finish in my view

I don’t know about reconstituting it mate, but knowing Jim I will bet he has done everything and even tried to resurrect it. :whistling:
