How do you stop this stuff getting thick and tacky. Dont want to ask in the chemists in case they get wrong ideas!

Sally Hansens i presume,

it will eventually thicken no matter what you do, keeping it in the fridge prolongs its usability, and when it does thicken a bit i add some veniards unitit thinners - works for me.

shhan. Sorry wrong spelling. Sally Hansen hard as nails. Ladies nail polish which is great for coating buzzers and for the finished knot. Im half ways down the bottle and it is really tacky. It costs about £6 for a bottle so I am not too keen on throwing away this lot until I find a less tacky alternative.

You can buy SH thinners,but it's a rare beast.I use ethanol.But as Robster say's Veniards thinners will work as well.

Superdrug regularly sell it for £1

Have never managed to find SH Thinners Jim, as you say it must be a rare beast

Are you saying superdrug sell SHHAN for a pound, or SH Thinners for a pound??
