? for users of "Fray Block"
I bought some Fray Block after reading all of you who like it. Now I have a question. The directions are to hold the tube under hot running water for 3 minutes and shaking it for 30 seconds before puncturing a hole in the tube and using it. My question is: Is it necessary to run the tube under hot water and shake afterwards prior to each use? I assume so, although the directions never say so, and I don't remember having to do any of that when I used "Fray Check".

I put mine into a plastic bottle and have always used it from there. I guess I should read the directions too because I have used it for years without any problems, and I love the stuff. I just got a new tube so will check out the directions!
Wonder if that will change how I do it? I have put it in a plastic bottle now for a long time because the tube got ruined after using it for a while, maybe that is why you have to heat it up with water?

I hate to waste water, I put the tube in warm water for a few minutes and shake it up. I have used it without warming it up and I like it better that way. It doesn't flow as quickly and I don't end up with a glob of it when I just need a dab.
