So all of my AK has been sitting in the drawer for a bit not sure how long some of them when you remove the cap have skin over the opening and most of the product has settled at the bottom more so the earth tones and some of the streaking. Is all my stuff junk now or can I bring them back by shaking and stirring them

Hi,
What kind of products have you stored? Paints, washes, filters...?

If it is about washes I would say you just need to shake well. As for paints, a steel bearing inside it will help to remove the base while shaking.

All in all, I would say they can be recovered.

Just filters and washes

Hi Craig- as Carlos said- just give them a good stir. I've had the skin form and the base settle to the bottom on plenty of filters and washes- they should just need some agitation and they will be good to go.
