Black Knight Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I think I may have discovered a thinner for Humbrol Clearfix Its Evo-Stik Adhesive Cleaner. I use this Adhesive Cleaner for thinning neoprene contact adhesive I had half a bottle of Humbrol Clearfix which had thickened and was no longer useable. I put some of this into another glass bottle and added some Evo-Stick Adhesive Cleaner. No measure - just an amount to see what would happen. Over 24 hours I occasionally shook the bottle and set it right-side up, up-side down, on its left side etc (its a square bottle) This evening when I checked it the Clearfix had thinned and is now useable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPA 4. cellulose thinners 5. acetone 6. pure turpentine 7. Dial (of B&Q) brush restorer Yesterday I used the thinned Clearfix to glue an injection moulded canopy to a piece of plastic kit ( the base of an Airfix Multi-pose figure) The Clearfix worked as it should and today I separated the two parts and peeled the Clearfix off, just the way the fresh stuff can be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
