My soft plastic coloring is drying up....help!

**shipahoy41** · 02-15-2015, 07:18 AM

Folks, I do not have a heated garage like some of you who live in Texas and Mississippi and I have a problem. I notice that after really cold weather my soft plastic (Lurecraft) coloring has dried in the bottle. I have just been throwing it away and ordering more...however that tends to be pricey on a fixed income. Is there a way to restore and revitalize them?

Add worm oil or softener to the bottle along with a 1/4" stainless steel nut or two and shake like crazy. I've never heard of colorant designed for plastic "drying". Settling or "hard packing", yes. I'm going to assume the latter is what is happening to yours.

Thank you my friend. I will try that.

all the stuff that I've used Mike in the past well settled to the bottom you have to keep them well stirred all the time I would've made you cry a while back I threw away hundred and $50 worth because I could not transport to Texas because I did not have the proper screw caps .

OMG. That is a tear jerker. I coupd not do that. I would put those in the car.
