    I have a few bottles of Lee liquid alox that has gotten thick. What can I use to thin it out?

    Mineral spirits. I warm mine in the microwave. Put a hair dryer on my bullets a minute then put them in a ziploc bag with a squirt of alox/paste wax and knead well. Then I dump on a paper plate.

    Warm and then thin with mineral spirits.

    I nuke a container of water and throw the bottle in til I can hear it slosh when I shake it. It sez right on the bottle to thin it with mineral spirits.

    I didn’t have mineral spirits last time and used turpentine instead. Worked like a charm
