Default underseal

how do you stop underseal drying out/going hard when you use it i have used it in the pass and it seems to go stiff to use after the tin has been opened after 10 mins and makes it hard to use i have a transit to underseal so looking for a easy way of doing it.

Buy hammerite underseal if you want good underseal as it has 25% waxoil in it and never really dries out properly.

Depending on the make you can warm it up to apply it. Nicer to use then
