also take a freezer zip lock bag and cut in half, 2 pieces, and lay one on opening before you put lid on tight. This will help too. I try to shake it every time I see the bottle sitting there.

Timely post. I actually made a few plugs and went to seal them. My spar/ms looked like sludge. Trying to figure out what to do next. Thanks for the help.

Thanks again fellas. I've been putting a piece of plastic shopping bag in between the cover, I'll try the freezer bag technique.

I used to use MS to cut my Spar for sealing but had the same "jello" issues after a while. I read somewhere a while back about using pure turps instead of MS and I have now been trying it. It does have a stronger odor but I have had zero jello(ing) problems. At least in the month or 2 I have been using the mix.The plugs I've done with it seem to be sealed just as well as the MS/Spar mix.
