I remember my GranPa adding a little Gasoline to and old can of Monkey Grip vulcanizing cement to reconstitute it. He told me you can only do this once because the gasoline will dry it out faster. It worked just fine. Vulcanizing Cement and Gasoline in the 50s had allot of Heptaine in it. Naphtha in modern day vulcanizing cements would be much safer. I am sure he would have used Naphtha if he had had it around.
