All in one and boot hooks

[327fed]

2 questions please. I have some eco flo all in one that is dried up close to shoe polish paste. Can you dilute and re constitute it? Is it water based? 

Also, I ordered some boot lace hooks to make an ankle holster. Looking at these I can’t see how to set them. Special tool?

I can't answer the first question, but for the second one, yes. You'll need a press and a die specifically for hooks.  It has a slot in it to tuck the hook part in to protect it from getting squished when you set them.

Thanks. I found a cheapo version of the die on Amazon.

Eco flo is a water based acrylic. It can be re-constituted by adding water. But add a wee bit of alcohol to it as well. Something like methylated spirits or rubbing alcohol will do. If the Eco has not gone too far in its thickening, about 1 alcohol to 3 water should do it. Add small amounts, shake vigorously and then let sit awhile, do this till you get it as fluid as you'd like

Thank you.
