Hi all,
I have a fairly old (15 or so years) tin of Stuarts Micrometer blue - its oil based prussian blue as far as I know and is the most common in the UK I think.
I think it has got to 'stiff' - it doesn't seem to spread very well.
I assume it doesn't 'go off'?
I think all I need to do is add a little oil? I have a selection of machine tool oils - from spindle to thick and gooey.
Right now it will hold a peak, sort of like meringue egg whites, but I think it should be more like soft toothpaste.
I don't know what consistency it should be?
