I agree with letting UP know so many of us are having problems.  Before we
started transfering ours to finger nail polish bottles we called them for
suggestions and to find out if the drying out problems we were having was
normal.  Their response to us was that this was the first they had heard of
anyone having that problem.  At that point we told them every little problem
we had with B-72 and most of their responses were, "huh, well just add some
acetone and it should go back to normal."

But for the price that's paid we felt like we shouldn't have to use our time
constantly mixing acetone back in.
