After a couple of years standstill in my L-18C restoration (I had to build a hangar...) I finally restarted last week. I put one of the (nitrate doped) wings on saw horses, cleaned it and made all preparations for the first butyrate coat. But when I opened the (previously unopened, Randolph non-tautening) 5 gal can, I was sligthly surprised: Under 3 inches of fluid there was just a big lump of "stiff jelly"! Actually more like heavy styrofoam, i.e impossible to stir...
I bought the can 6 years ago so expected that some of the thinner would have disappeared, but this was a bit too much. :-?
I added 1/2 gal of thinner, put the lid on and waited a week - but absolutely nothing happened.
What do think - is there a way to save it?
