CP question

I rarely use CP and had swiched to Gudebrod(I think it has acrylic in it which makes it better???), but since it's been on the shelf for a few years I was wondering what most of you all use so I can get some replacement CP. I will probably be using it for asthetics only, but who knows depending on the answers I get here. Thanks in advance...............Kyle

If 811 has thickened from sitting onteh shelf, just thin it with Denatured alcohol & test it on a scrap wrap to make sure you didn't think it too much. I just found a bottle of something similar to 811 which I purchased 5 years ago, it was almost like a silicone gel. After some thinning it worked as good as new.

The orginal 811 was an acrylic/urethane type. Billy is correct, you want to thin it with Denatured alcolhol. It may come back to useable condition, but test it first.
