ANTI-SIEZE GREASE DRIED UP
 

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).

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.

over and out,

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.
