Stubben Hamanol - How thick should it be?

[spider]

Bought some at the weekend but is so thick I had great difficulty getting it out of the tube. Is it meant to be like that or has it been hanging about in the tack shop for too long? Think I will try heating it a little next time I use it.

It becomes really thick when it is cold. Try warming it up a bit although don't do what KatB did with hers....if she reads this she might share the story!!

In the cold it is quite thick, i prefer it like that though than in the summer when it's all hot and oily!

I put mine into a "warm" oven....except I didnt realise it was actually on and heating up as opposed to cooling down...Hamanol is not nice to clean off an oven when the tube has exploded!! And it stinks...just a warning!!

Really thick when cold! I usually stand on the end to squeeze the stuff out.

LMAO at the oven experience

stick it on a warm radiator, i stuck mine on the wood burner as i thought it was cooling down but no dad had just lit a fire, it exploded all over the place!

I have same problem and in summer, its way too runny. Kind of annoying but good stuff and I've had my tube nearly 6years, which probably says more about my tack cleaning than Hammanol!

Thanks for the warning! I'll try to warm it up without any explosions then!

put the tube in warm water-that loosens it up

Ooops! Mine sits on the radiator shelf all the time so its always nice and soft to use when needed!

Thanks - that's easy - didn't think of that!
