IIRC, acetone is the solvent--just add a little extra. (But, double

They don't give ingredients on the jar (probably because we ain't
going to eat the stuff). It does say that it contains an ingredient
that causes cancer in California?????? Doesn't cause cancer in any
other state?

Anyway, someone in another forum told me to use oil based putty from
The Color Putty Companyhttp://www.colorputty.com/index.htmlwhich
they said they had jars three years old that was still pliable.

I will put a little acetone in the Minwax jars and see if I can revive
them.

try a couple drops of vegetable oil



FIRST,download or obtain a Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) for that
product,and it will list the solvent.
