4* UPP not mixed?

[BenjiBoy650]

I just bought a couple bottles of 4* UPP for the first time and I noticed that the product looks like it`s separated at time. After shaking it, when I pour it onto a foam applicator, you can see some clear liquid and some white liquid. Give the bottle a bit of time to settle down and it seems to come out as a xxxxgeneous white liquid for a little bit, before going back to the separated look. It seemed to work well, ended up pretty slick but I`m just a bit worried. I`ve never seen a sealant that looks like this, is it normal?

Did you buy it from AG on BOGO?

No, why? Did they send out a bad batch?

Dunno, just thought it might be old stock.

Shake it REALLY well, then turn it upside down and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then shake really well again. It should work great.

Thanks for the tip, I assume this is going to be the normal routine every time I try to use it?

Most product will begin to separate over time. So depending on how long between uses will determine how much shaking is involved. I always re-shake my product before use because they could have separated.


For most of my sealants, I tend to pick them up and shake them for a minute of two before I start the cleaning process. I then pick it up and shake it intermittently through out till it is time to use. I also continue to rotate the bottle when I sit it back down. This continues to mix the product and reduce the time I spend shaking it all at ounce. By breaking it up it makes it seem better.

It depends on a lot of factors. How frequently are you using it, what are the storage conditions, etc..
