Hellow all, the procoat I bought in february , just pulled it off the shelf other ran out,
it had a 1/2" laor of crème setteled on the bottem,
I mixed it up and did some tests and it seams to be OK,
but I would like to know for shure before I use it on three rods that are wating.

Is it OK or should I get some new?

Thanks Curt

The resin will crystalize over time. Stir it a bit and see if that fixes things. If bad enough, you can heat it a bit and it should reform to normal.

Curtis,
If I haven't used a glue or finish for a long time and it has gotten thick or settled, I will put it in the microwave - with the lid off for about 30 seconds. Normally a 30 second hit with the microwave will do a nice job of heating and getting rid of any settling or crystals in the container.

Obviously, if the liquid is in a metal container - do NOT put it into a microwave!!

Curtis, if you do heat it in the microwave, I would do it in 10 second increments, otherwise depending on how much is in the bottle and the size of the bottle, you run the risk of a boil over. A much safer way of heating is to heat water to near boiling, place the bottle in a coffee mug and then pour in the water. You can leave it there until it cools if you like. Leave the lid on while in the water, then wipe dry.
