I am working on a project and wanted to refill my smaller glue container
from the quart container of TB III and noticed that the glue in the quart
container had almost turned to a pudding like consistency. As the glue
almost poured out when I squeezed the bottle but sucked back into the bottle
when I quit squeezing I thought that this half bottle of glue had expired.
I have 2, 1 quart bottles and the unopened one was fine and both were bought
at the same time.
So, I called Franklin International and told them that I thought I had a
bottle of glue that had gone bad, what can you do for me. They indicated
that they have only seen the glue sometimes begin to gel, like putting. I
had not told them what was wrong however his description matched my problem.
The very simple solution to fix and return the gel like glue to a chocolate
milk liquid was to simply "whack" the bottle a couple of times with the palm
of your hand. Like magic, this gunk in my glue bottle suddenly turned to a
liquid again.

If I would have bought and used a rubber mallet in my younger days, I know my
hands & wrists would be in a lot better shape now..
Of course, staying out of fights would have helped a lot, too...

You may still fix a modern TV with a good whack... Take a look at the

Reeeeeally! I gunna go take a look.
Wellllll, the lable on mne says to shake vigeriousely by bumping on a table.
I only had to bump the bottle against my hand 2 or 3 times, no shaking at
all. That said, I'm going to shake it too. ;~)

I think you are showing your age there Lee. I remember many years ago the
magical whack and or jiggle of the knob would make the reception on any TV
or radio come in better. These days there are no knobs to jiggle and
printed circuits don't respond in a benefitting way to being whacked. ;~)

I've been doing that since my first bottle of TB III, Leon..
I hope your call to Franklin was toll free, cuz it tells you on the label to
"hit vigorously on a hard surface" on the label.. ;-]

I had the same cabinet. It was a replacement of a KILLER Yamaha 6x10
that the seller had to buy me when the *real* owner of the 6x10
appeared. <G>
That Yamaha was like a cut-down SVT cabinet, with less boomy bottom. I
never could find another of that beautiful sounding box.

Man...do I relate to that.
Being a woodcarver, I used the heel of my hand as a hammer for so
long, I crushed the blood vessels until my fingers shrank and turned
white...couldn't resist the brawls, either.

In my neighborhood, Peaveys are used to keep the boat from drifting or

They did make a few decent sounding tube amps, but they also made some
really ugly sounding stuff...

LOL .. musicians have what is universally known as the "Peavey Fix" ...
whack/smack/kick the shit out of it and, magically, it works again ... First
time I've ever seen it applied to wooddorking.
