  Tnx for your responses to my query in late April.

  The consensus was to buy a new can.  However here
  in the Prescott AZ area there's none to be found.
  Clive and Tom suggested thinning with acetone.  I
  have two 15 oz cans of Scotchkote (~$20+/can) in
  the same condx so it seemed worth a try.

  I poured a generous quantity of acetone on the
  goop, let it set a few days, stirred, poured
  on more, let it set a few more days and shook it
  up and it now looks, smells, brushes and sets up
  normally.  Time will tell if the wonderful wx
  protection/sealing properties are restored as
  well.  The pouring and stirring was done outside
  upwind on breezy days. =20

  Scott ref ur 7 year old spill on the garage floor,
  look at the positive side - that patch of concrete
  is well protected!

  Tnx agn/73
