TEMPILAQ Thinner & Shelf Life

[Full Curl]

Probably an elementary question here but can Templiq Thinner be used with any of their specific temperature point bottles? In other words can I use the same bottle of thinner with both 400 degree and 700 degree liquids or do I have to get a thinner specific to a specific temperature point bottle?

Also, other than making sure they are sealed tight and correctly stored, any other tips for making sure the bottles last as long as possible? I prefer to anneal in large batches so I don't do it very often... maybe every 2 or 3 years unless I am working up new loads.

Thanks.

I believe there thinner works for all temperature ratings, personally, having used tempilaq for the better part of 45 years, lacquer thinner does the same thing. Store it upside down, shelf life is very good

Thank you! So just regular ol lacquer thinner I from the hardware store will work just as good as the Templiq Thinner?

Yep, go easy with it, you don't want to turn it into water, just enough to make it workable

I've used acetone to thin/renew tempilaq and it seems to work fine.
