Hi guys! Had a little problem, my Mr. Surfacer 500 (bottle) is drying up. What should I add to bring it back to it's old form?

Yep, Arvin's right. Just pour in a little Mr. Thinner, and there you go...(almost) as good as new. I need to "refresh" mine every few months it seems.

How old is it? I just chunked a bottle of it after trying to revive it w/acetone. The bottle lasted me over 3 years though.

Laquer Thinner is what's needed. Hardware store grade works just fine.
