Dried up Liquid Green Stuff- Rejuvination?
« on: February 23, 2015, 10:58:46 AM »
Hi,

I've barely had the jar a year and this is the first time I've opened it and....... it's solid!

The receipt will be long gone so no point in taking it back.

Is there any way of rejuvenating the stuff? Is it water based?

Seems like a waste if not.....

Darrell.

Depends on quite how solid it is...

If its not set hard you can add some water to it and give it a bit of a shake, then stir it about a bit. If it doesn't show any signs of improvement it's probably had it..  :(

I managed to bring a pot of the stuff back from the (near)dead following that method.

Yes, Citadel's bottles suck bit time for Liquid Green Stuff. My two cents: bin it and buy Vallejo's Plastic Putty. Does the same thing and doesn't dry up in the bottle.

Excellent stuff for filling small holes or lines and can be shaped very well with a wet finger.

It's rock solid Ray so it looks like it's Vallejo for me then... I kind of begrudge handing GW my money anyway!

I may well send it off and see if they'll replace it as i'm pretty sure that one is supposed to get at least one use from the pot
!!

Thanks for the input chaps.

Darrell.
