    Ive got a tube of icing thats been around for some yrs, maybe 5. Its no longer "wet'' so im guessing some of the thinners have escaped. Is there a proven way to thin this stuff back out?

    For the $25 or so it costs for a new tube I'd just buy new. You won't be happy if the stuff doesn't cure right or ruins the paint later on.
     
  3. I don't care what you do to it, I still would not eat it. Cakes aren't that expensive. Either buy new icing or go to a bakery and get a new cake.

    I have used lacquer thinner to thin icing,BUT to much and it will crack when it dries. good luck!

    Use fiberglass resin as a thinner. works great.

    Icing is very thin filler, it usually refers to a USC product 26006

  10. icing brand is a 2 part glazing putty used to fill small imperfections. his went dry over the years, it was suggested to try resin and lacquer, or just throw it away. he decided to throw it away. up to speed?
