Todays Martha Stewart Wargaming Tip

Is your tacky white glue or even your two part epoxy glue congealing in their bottles? Don't worry. Put it in the micro wave for 10 to fifteen seconds and they will be as good as new. If the glue is water soluble you may want to add a few drops of water after microwaving and shake thoroughly.

Serioulsy folks, this works.

Doesn't everyone do that?  8-o

The most entertaining experience was a 5 litre can of red laquer for 2 minutes @ 1000 watts.

Seriousy, I know enough about physics and microwaves to know what to attempt.

How bout dried in the jar vintage model paints.

So you are one of those guys who dig up antique posts. :-)

Sorry, I don't think micowaving pots will help. I have, on a few rare occasions and with some patience, managed to salvage a few pots of dear but OOP acrylic colours by disolving the contents in acetone (nail polish remover), drain it, and then re-medium it by adding water and a wollop of PVA (firm stirring required). Doesn't always work. I think most of the time regranulation of the cloggy bit are required anfd that aint worth the trouble.

So you put a metal can with a flammable liquid inside of a microwave and input 120kJ of energy?  What was the entertaining part...reaching the flashpoint and the enjoying the photoelectric techno light show?  Sorry, but I know enough about Physics not to try that! ::
Then again, I got hit in the testicles by a soda can traveling at 35 km/hr while demonstrating the conservation of mechanical energy.  It was a complete accident, but my students got the point.

I have been told that a drop of dishwashing liquid does the trick, haven't bothered to try it yet though.
