I have a small container of Scale tipping wax that was lost for a little while. I finally found in but it has dried up quite a bit.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do possibly salvage it for use. i could just throw it away but wanted to
take a chance that maybe someone had an idea first.  Thanks

Throw that stuff away and get yourself a few bottles of different Liquid Scale Golds!

I have a jar from ten years ago you can have,
Liquid scales, pearl ex, charcoals I use them all
The stuff in a jar was hard to use and too darn bold for me

The "Antique Gold" (I think) Treasure Wax of the last 15 years or so is not the same that it was prior to that time frame. The good stuff is long gone. That being said I would bet a little Mineral Spirits would soften the stuff that you have. I'm glad you posted this because it reminds me I need to ask my good friend DougP where he gets his wax to mix with powders (I think it's bees wax that works with the powders.)

Treasure Wax  does last a long time...i have a gold and pewter that is from the 70's and a dab of turpentine wakes it up
