I am down to near the bottom of the quart can of Hydrocote I first
purchased, and I think I've noticed a  viscosity increase.  I now usually
stir the PUR just before using, but admit that I have not always been so
vigilant.  It may also be that the air in the can, with repeated openings,
causes some viscosity increase.  At an rate, the symptoms I see are streaks
in the coating that were not there before.  It is the same type of streaking
I saw with Liquitex acrylic before I diluted it 3:1.
