I use the Permatex brand anti-seize compound on many of my equipment bolts, spark plugs, lawn mower blade bolts, and of course my muzzleloaders that have removeable breech plugs. I don't use much as a little goes long way. I recently went to my 8 ounce jar and to my dismay it has lost the ingredient that makes it soft and usable. I just hate to throw it away without asking if anyone has a suggestion as to what product can be used to bring it back into usable condition?
