    I didn't tighten the top of tub of tubular glue that I was using recently with the result that it has hardened a bit and is now unworkable.

    Is there any way to recharge/refresh the glue (e.g. by adding thinner, aetone etc.) to get it back to something workable or is that my tub of tubular glue gone?

    Bin it.
    If you add anything to it it will effectivley dilute it and weaken it.
    If you only need to use glue every so often maybe buy the small tubes of mastik?

    Agree with above.

    Bin it or risk a roll off.

    Thanks, that is exactly what I thought.

    Finding it difficult to get anything smaller than the big tub of continental tubular glue. Does anyone have a source for the smaller tubes that have enough for one or two applications?

    Maybe Humphries Cycles in Finglas.
