Default Diluting Isopon

Hi all

Some time ago, I took the advice of someone on this group to use
Isopon for critical filling work.
It works really well for tricky/exposed dents in wooden doors etc.
The only issue I have with the stuff is that, as you get to the last
1/3 of the tin, it tends to have lost a lot of the liquid content and
so becomes difficult to mix and apply.
The tin I have has probably been in use for 9 months and opened maybe
a dozen times (I always put the top back on as soon as I have removed
the filler).

So what is the liquid and is there an alternative usually found in the
average garage cupboard?

TIA

Blimey, can you still get it?!

I remember using it (called David's Isopon then, ISTR) nearly 50 years ago
for repairing a corrugated iron water butt which had frozen solid, and the
ice had started to push the bottom out. Mavellous stuff - the butt lasted
another 20 years after that!
