Collinite 845 consistency

I just wanted to know what kind of consistency Collinite 845 is supposed to have. I got my bottle today and opened it to find it to be almost like water. By the end of the day, it had turned into a thick paste that won't pour out even when the bottle is upside down. I have to squeeze the bottle if I want to get anything out.
 
The best way I can tell you is...SHAKE, SHAKE AND MORE SHAKE. The more you shake it the easier it will be to get it out of the bottle.
 
I fill a cup with warm-hot water and turn it upside down and stick it in that and it melts very quickly. I don't even have to wait 5 minutes. And then I shake it up, pour what I need onto the pad, and stick it back in the cup. Then I apply via PC and whenever I need more, it's still thin because I left it in the warm water.
 
haha welcome to 845! Let's see what's the best way to put it. Oh yeah - you need to shake the sh!t out of it. :)



It's consistency is great as it spreads easily and goes a LONG way. :woot:
 
Yeah, getting 845 ready to apply can be a PITA. When it's cooler out, I do the warm water trick someone mentioned above, then once it's warm, just shake the heck outta it! ;)

Yep, I do the same thing and it is worth the extra couple minutes getting it ready.

When it gets warm outside, just sit it in the sun for a while and it will thin right down... Shake it a bit and then you'll be amazed at how thin it gets...
 
And if there's a plug of solidified wax in the neck of the bottle, shove that down into the rest of it and shake it up some more.

Yep, that's exactly what happened to mine. Used a toothpick and popped it down into the bottle.
