If any of you guys are like me you probably have a bunch of quart bottles of polishing compounds sitting under your ball spinner. Some you use a lot and others you may use once a year or less. The post below from Gotoga got me thinking about checking my seldom used polishing compounds. Some I haven't used in years and as luck would have it a few of the compounds grit had partially solidified in the polish. I was resurfacing one of my Son's Balls he had used in the Las Vegas Junior Invitational and complaining to him about some of the compounds starting to solidify. He told me, Dad its not rocket science, why don't you put two of three marbles in the quart bottles to brake up the clumps of grit back into the polish? I tried it and after four to five minutes of constant shaking it broke up the clumps of grit and the polishing compounds were good as new. From now on I am going to put a couple of marbles in all my polishing compounds for a more consistent mixing prior to use.
A simple solution but one I had never thought of.

I have particle ball polish (I don't know the name of it) that has dried out. I want to try and liven it up again and I was thinking about adding some water to it. I was also considering maybe a little bit of olive oil. Any suggestions? What's the main ingredient in most polishes? Are they water based?
