I am working on a project and wanted to refill my smaller glue container from the quart container of TB III and noticed that the glue in the quart container had almost turned to a pudding like consistency. As the glue almost poured out when I squeezed the bottle but sucked back into the bottle when I quit squeezing I thought that this half bottle of glue had expired. I have 2, 1 quart bottles and the unopened one was fine and both were bought at the same time. So, I called Franklin International and told them that I thought I had a bottle of glue that had gone bad, what can you do for me. They indicated that they have only seen the glue sometimes begin to gel, like putting. I had not told them what was wrong however his description matched my problem. The very simple solution to fix and return the gel like glue to a chocolate milk liquid was to simply "whack" the bottle a couple of times with the palm of your hand. Like magic, this gunk in my glue bottle suddenly turned to a liquid again.
