    Question Sealant going bad possibly?

    Well it makes me sad to think that i might have to buy another bottle of 4star UPP. I've noticed that no matter how long and hard i shake the bottle, i cant get the sealant back its its original consistency or color.

    Right now the sealent is very watery and the color is not solid white anymore( id say its more clear with chunks of white inside). I have tested it on both my vehicle and a friends and it still holds up as suppose too. Any idea as to what i should do?

    Do you bring it inside or leave it out with the elements?

    Some products can be unphased by cold temperatures, and if anything only require a decent amount of shaking to bring them back. If there are solid chunks in the product, I am not sure if you can ever re-mix to the consistency it was before.

    upon a heavy reshake it shouldnt be chunky and suggests part of it needs additional mixing or clumped somehow. I do find all sealants to seperate rather quickly and thus spend 2-3 minutes of hard shaking before use.

    Probably if you shaking it doesn't mix it then it's not going to remix but if you want a couple ideas: I wonder if Home Depot could put it on their paint shaker and see what happens or pour it in a blender.
