and i might add that most of the Hylomar i have bought in the last 4 years has 
only contained about a half full tube.
i start rolling up the bottom of the tube with my little metal roller thing, 
and 
it really takes to about the 1/2 way point before the blue comes out.
seems you get 50ml in 100ml tube.
and it seems like some of the solvents have dried up. the blue is immediately 
like jello rather than paste.
been meaning to complain to the 2 guys i buy it from, but never get round to 
it. 
next time i buy a tube i will.

My local HF doesn't have it on the shelf any more, either.? I suspect they
bought a close-out somewhere, as the Hylomar I got from them had separated
inside the tube.? Not a particularly big deal, but I've never seen that
before, leading me to believe it hadn't been stored properly or perhaps was
beyond its shelf life.
