Asavva Report post Posted January 17 (edited) Ordered some tokonole for the first time, and it came during freezing cold temperatures. It was left out in the cold for around half a day, though it didn't freeze. Does this look normal/usable, or is it ruined? The videos and images I saw of it showed a smoother texture, so I'm worried.

Aven Report post Posted January 17 It doesn't look like any Tokonole I've ever used. It looks more like sourdough starter. Try it on some scrap and see how it works out for you. It might be okay. It might not have frozen at your house, but it could have during transport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rleather Report post Posted January 17 I had a similar occurrence, this past summer it got extremely hot and humid here in Florida, more than it usually does. My Tokonole looked like a curdled dairy product. And it smelled odd. Very close to your picture. I would bet it encountered extreme temp change.

LeatherLegion Report post Posted January 18 The color is off too. Tokonole is white....yours looks yellowish...maybe it's just the picture though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burkhardt Report post Posted January 18 Thin it with a little water if needed otherwise it's probably fine for edges or burnishing the flesh side. I have some that's a little runny and some that's really thick. Still works fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
