I have a bottle of Rooster Jacket I bought probably 6+ years ago. Today I opened it and it is beginning to dry up. Looking for what to use to rehydrate it to original consistency. Any info will be appreciated. m

Don't quote me on this but I think its back in production,someone picked up the ball. For the life of me it looks like the old commercial floor wax we used at the fire house. Frank C.

midway actually has some in stock and it has to either be new stock or a special run ( or they found a few cases in a whare house )

I use distilled water, heated just short of boiling. Wonderful stuff!

I have been using Rooster Jacket for years ever since it came out and I always thin with cold water right out of the faucette. Great stuff !! for .45 and .38 DEWC Mayhaw3

I thin my RJ with water or beer.

Place about 250 38's in a tumbler container. Dribble a 75%/25% RJ/H2O mixture over pile.

Allow to tumble for 5 minutes just fast enough to ensure they are rolling around well.

Pour out on wax paper covered cookie sheet and separate.

8-10 hours later you are ready to reload.

I started using beer as a substitute when the dog drank up all my water I had for the purpose. Too lazy to get more, I substituted.

Since then I calculated in the cost of beer for this purpose and it drives the cost of a box of .38's through the roof. NO, MORE!!!!!!!! :wow:

Well I got curious and looked for a MSDS and patent, no luck for either in about a half hour. I did find several references that indicated that it was waterproof so I would not try water to thin it. R D

Yes, treat it something like sugared up honey. Watch that you don't melt the bottle.

If it will pour I would try hot water. If it will not pour I would put the bottle in hot water from the tap and see if it loosens up. Next if that was ineffectual I would add a little bit of hot water to the bottle and stir it with a coat hanger or some such nonsense.  If I were to try a solvent it would be alcohol but I doubt if it will be needed. I thin mine with water to make it go farther. I get less sticking to the bowl or wax paper as the case may be.
