Rod Bond Question

I've been using Flex Coat and decided to try Rod Bond. Is the Rod Bond a gel about the consistancy of Vasoline? I'm just wondering if what I have is good

Vasoline! Just the consistancy it's suppose to be.

YES. Viscosity is like a jelly, or gel (no water), like Vaseline. What you have is good.

Mixing proportions are not super-critical, like the 2-part epoxy thread finishes. Eye-balling or teaspoons are accurate enough measures. Mix well. -Cliff Hall+++

I've been using a very specialized tool for mixing Rod Bond - a plastic knife from a fast food restaurant. Not McDonalds, their knives are too flimsy, but a heavier one. I wipe it down well with a little alcohol after I'm finished each time, and I don't think it will ever wear out.
