Dingotone Guitar Wax has dried up

[Blueshound]

I bought some Dingotone Guitar Wax when I ordered my kit, so It's been sitting at the bottom of a box of PBG goodies for almost 2 months while I've been sanding and staining. I opened it yesterday and it's completely dry and solid.

What's the best way to reinvigorate it?

Really Bluesy? dried up? do you have a picture? I've had mine since I think November. Yeah its a bit hard but I just gouge out a bit and roll it in my fingers and hands to warm it up and make it pliable and she's all good.

Hi DB, in the same boat as I have 2 pots and went to use one of them today and it was as solid as.....?

Will it soften up if you gently heat the container by immersing in some hot water for a period of time perhaps? Or would I do better leaving it out in the sun and use some natural solar energy to soften things up? Not much sun around today so that wasn't an option.

Cheers, Waz

As I was saying Waz, just dig a bit out and use body heat and friction if you are stuck if there's no sun

Thanks DB. PM sent.

Thanks for the tip Andy. I cut some out with a knife and am rolling it in my fingers while typing. Sort of, blue tack consistency now. This is what it looks like - sort of like a tealight candle.

Thanks Bluesy, yep similar to mine. As you only need a bit I just used a bit, cut out with a knife with tacky consistency on a rag and applied it to the fret board. before and after shots

[Blueshound]

Seems to work. Got it to a doughy consistency. So do you massage it into the guitar like this?

[Blueshound]

I'll give it a try

are you putting it on the fretboard or the guitar? If on the fret board yep I massage it in then once i finish the last fret i go back and give each fret a wipe to take any excess off. usually collects at the fret wire. IF you are putting it on the guitar body, ask Shazzrandom I think she finished an ES in dingowax.
