Todays Experiment With Dope.....

So, I do not really know how to start this, so here it goes.... I had happened to go through a couple small cans of dope I have here last night. I then see my small can of black Sig dope and open it. To my horror, I see it kinda all lumpy and curdled. Well, this was no good. So today after dinner, I was at my parents and told my dad I had something to do in HIS garage. We go out there and I start the experiment of saving my dope. First I add a small bit of thinner to the dope as I know I have to thin it out. Then I put my homemade 'stirrer' into HIS drill. Carefully, I insert my stirrer into the can and after a few seconds, it breaks. No problem, just a pride thing. Then he says to just chuck up an allen key. Well, I had thought about that yesterday too, but disregarded that idea, until he mentioned it. So now, here I am, drill going slow with the allen bit in it, stirring up my BLACK dope. This is being done on his workbench that he somewhat recently painted WHITE. Along with a couple totes of his 'junks' he is currently sorthing through. Anyways, I got the hang of the allen key mixer, so I go a bit faster, then a bit more. Early on, I said I wanted to make a cardboard shield with a hole in it just in case anything spit out, to which he replied I couldn't see what I was doing. Well, the small can suddenly got a high speed wobble, the key was rattling off the side of the can, and I am sure you can see where this is going. There is now a circular pattern of 'art' all over his table, his totes, my hand I was holding the can with was now black, my watch, and the sleeve of my jacket at the end! I proceeded to say that I wanted to put a cover on it! All he did was look at his table. Lol. So I scraped up as much as I could, put it back into the can, added some more thinner with a new homemade mixer consisting of 2 small zip ties on a long shank driver bit. Final result is that the lumps are mostlty gone, 95% better, but still thick, so we will go for round two tomorrow and thin it out a bit more. I am not using this for anything important, but rather just to coat fuel tank areas and firewalls. Of course, I will test it on scraps before using it on something good.
