Thread: Flexament

  1. #1

    Default Flexament

    Is there an alterntive to Flexament. It seems like every time I need to use it the bottle has gone to stiff to use.

    Get some Toluene from Home Depot/Lowes to thin it (I used to use Naptha but I think the Toluene is a bit less toxic; whichever, do it in a ventilated area). If you need to augment, get some Goop; pretty much the same thing.

    Like Scott said, go the GOOP route. I've used 'Plumbers GOOP' and thin it with Lacquer Thinner although I know Toluene would be better. If you use a jar, place some pet. jelly along the rim.

    I use Marine Goop and usually have several jars of varying consistency sitting around.
    As said about the flexament just add tolulene.
    I have disolved some almost totally harden goop with tolulene ...you should be able to do the same with flexament.

    Do work in a well ventilated area when mixing the stuff up. I too have several jars mixed to varying consistency on my bench.
