Antisieze

I have a can that is going hard. Is there any way I can revive it ? Something has evaporated that made it go hard ?

Guess I'll try a little kero. Hate to throw it in the junk.

Don't know that I'd use something that evaporates easily and is flammable. Most anti-seize that I've seen uses some type of light oil as a carrier. You don't really want the carrier to evaporate completely.
Unless you've got a lot of this stuff, it would seem like a better idea to toss it and buy new. It isn't THAT expensive.

I would toss it but it's almost full. I'm a cheepscate I guess and got nothing to loose. Haven't messed with it yet so I'll try some 3 in one oil. It's the lightest stuff I got around here.

I'm pretty cheap as well, but I'd probably chuck it(around here that would mean take it to the hazardous waste place.)

How will you know that it still works after you put something else in it? If you're relying on it to get your spark plugs out next time, you could be in for a shock.

I don't know that anything would happen, but it would worry me.
