MY BONDO IS DRYING OUT!!

It's only half empty and the bottom is getting all gunky.  Is there anything I can do to salvage the rest? Can I mix regular fiberglass resin into it??

I'm cheap!!!!

Regular old fiberglass resin works just fine. Acetone isn't much help, at least in my opinion.

I def would find something to use it for, I am sure there is a habitat scene out there you can dump it into a void.
