When you add coating mixture, this should dissolve the dry stuff that is in your bucket .
If you have a build up of coating in your bucket, you can simply add only a little Acetone to your coating bucket with your next lot, then, mix/coat, and this should use up residues left in your coating bucket and be regarded as a first coat/primer.
Don't worry if it is blotchy and uneven. Simply mix/shake coat to use up solvent and residue, then dump it to dry before it gets tacky.
If you get it to a tacky stage, don't worry, just add a small amount of Acetone in again, swirl coat, and this time don't swirl coat for as long so that it does not become tacky.
Some, simply wash out their coating container, and use that for making up coating mixture.
Please consider, that the coating can be recycled back into use after it has dried. The coating cannot be recycled after it is heat set.
