New can of wax cracked: normal?

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Ive never noticed this before on other waxes that I have ( maybe because they are WOWO style waxes/more greasy-ish ) but I bought a can of Finish Kare's Hi temp Big White paste wax and its split in three. Just came in today, cooler temps around 55-60s. Also I noticed that the can doesn't seal well, Im trying to push it down and its just popping back up. Sorry if this is basic, but Ive never had this before. To me,t he cracking would signify drying of the wax/solvents have evaporated, no?

Thanks!

I’ve seen numerous waxes cracked. I believe the wax is fine for use.

Send it back if the lid doesn't seat properly.

Yes cracking is normal with a lot of waxes, my new tin of Collinite 476s just came in yesterday and the wax was cracked in three. Those tins should have a great seal on them, sometimes it takes some force to get them down back down and you need to make sure you don’t pinch your hands. Was the lid not seated right when it came in?

Cracking will not hurt the wax but does look unsightly. I agree with the others though, if the lid will not reseal send it back and get a new pot. FK1000p is a great sealant!

Put the can in pot of hot water. It will fix the issue.

+1.

Try this first. I use boiling water to start.

Same with my can of FK1000. It has worked perfectly well. No problems whatsoever.
