Pore-o-pac too dry?

Post by bunny »

I have a can of Behlen Pore-o-pac that has been sitting on a shelf for a few months. Toghtly closed but when I openned it today it looked like it had dried, not compeletely still wet but not creamlike at all. The liguid part that used to be on top of the paste is almost gone.
Can I still reduce and use it or should I just throw it away?

you can mix it . I use an old egg beater in a drill
Mineral spirits will help but if it separated you have the solids under the oils. The egg beater can get it loosened up
