Sorry about the loss of your marine pets. 😢

Thanks. We'll just tell Flat they went to the Big Bowl in the Sky.

Usually, it's the crummy seals they put on the tubes that allows the solvents to evaporate. I get that all the time with Silicone. Ugh. As far as rejuvenating it, I'm not sure there is anything practical you can do. Many of the constituent ingredients aren't available in small quantities. A few are alcohol based, but most are phenol and thiol based.

So let me ask, what brand of glue are you using ? One last highly technical question - is it the gooey nasty smelling side that's drying up, or the pasty side ?
