I got 3 containers of old Thompson Center Maxi lube in a recent purchase that has separated out. I tried stirring it up again, but now it's just a runny mess with some waxy granules mixed in it. Is there any way to rejuvenate this lube, or is it just suitable for the trash can? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Since you may ultimately wind up trashing it, why not heat it gently in a[n improvised] double boiler and stir it to see if it recombines?

I will give that a shot. Great idea!

Looks like the hot water bath may work! I will follow up tomorrow after it has had a chance to cool and solidify again! Thanks for the help!!

Hot water bath worked perfectly. They were plastic containers, so I held them in a pot of hot water and stirred until everything was liquefied. Sat all three containers on the counter overnight, and they were as good as new this morning! Thanks Maven for the tip!
