Hi all,

I have a couple of plastic bottles of Permatex anti-sieze grease, and
they've both dried out. Each bottle is over 1/2 full. It's still usable, but
it's quite stiff. What did they use to "liquify" the grease, and what can I put
in the bottles to possibly soften it up ???

I'd reach for some kerosene....or maybe even mineral spirits (paint
thinner).

Why don't you go to the Permatex website and look up the MSDS(Material
Safety Data Sheet)??

Try Google.

I would just buy some more. I buy the stuff at the auto parts store in
small tubes, use on and throw any remainder away.

I don't know about that. I have spent about $2.00 over the last five
years. I don't think that is too much to avoid the possibility of
compromising the material with an incompatible solvent.

If you spent $2 then you weren't buying a quality anti-seize compound
anyway. And thinning the stuff doesn't compromise it.

Honestly I think I got stuff that was just fine. It certainly was not a
gallon of the the stuff, just a dab or two, enough for the jobs I needed it
for.

Just use mineral oil or baby oil if you want it to smell better.
