Hi All,

I have a touch up pen that's approx 30 years old. It hasn't leaked but the paint inside has gone very gloopy - it's not at all shakeable if that makes sense. It says it contains Xylene.
Does anyone know if there's something I could add to it to revive?

It's an OEM Jaguar one & i'd quite like to use it!

Cheers,

Spray some clear lacquer from an aerosol can into the lid of the can and then pour it into the touch up, screw the cap back on and
shake it up, leave it sitting for a bit and it will work wonders, just be careful when you open it again as sometimes the pressure
sprays it out onto your hands, use a rag.
