"Viscous: having a relatively high resistance to flow"

Make it more viscous...means more fluid...to me anyway

Begging pardon, Dale, but I suspect that what you meant was "decrease viscosity".

P.S. Please, someone, help me with my quandary over what to do with the Bush and Lane grand that had the Strauch "compensator wippens", originally, that have been replaced with regular ones. (Please send me a pic of an original, or help me find a set to rebuild.)

It is permissable to add a little water to increase viscosity. Just a little. I think 5 % by volume.

Hi Dale,
I like the TB50 I got from you too. Very strong, very hard. The only
thing I haven't made peace with is that it's thick (heavy bodied) and
has a greater tendency to skate when clamped than what I'm used to. It
just takes a little more attention to that detail, and it's a first rate
glue.
