Maybe people already know this tip but I just discovered it. Devon Plastic Steel Putty A resin gets stiff and hard to stir after a long time in storage. To soften it I put the closed container in a pot of hot tap water for a while. This is for the resin not the hardener.

The micro wave works. With Agragla gel, I put the open container in the oven for 5-8 seconds. Take it out and stir then put it back for another 5 secs then repeat until the gel is like new. I don’t let the gel ge hot -just warm If It Doesn't Feed, It's Junk. | |||

Once you mix it bump the mixture 5-10 seconds and it will greatly reduce set time.

Microwave. Boiling water is so, 20th Century. | |||

hmm -- boiling water is likely to make physical changes - microwaving something that isn't largely H2O based, is likely to make chemical changes. #dumptrump opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

You don't remove the stuff from the jar...... If microwaving makes chemical changes, I have not noticed it. I have done it a few times on old acraglas. | |||

Bill, That's good point. Also, Bill I recognize your name. I come from Calgary. I left there for good in 1970. Were you once a Calgarian? IHMSA BC Provincial Champion and Perfect 40 Score, Unlimited Category, AAA Class. | |||
