One of the drawbacks of LG.

I've never been able to successfully thin it to its original consistency once it starts to thicken like that. Even the stovetop recommendation never worked well. I only use the 1/2 oz bottles to help prevent that and always get a cosmetic square saturated in acetone and clean the thread grooves on the bottle opening before closing it up.

Thanks for the link, nursie. I zoomed in on this factoid:

TCE can affect your brain the same way drinking alcohol does

So I guess adding an olive and a spritz of vermouth is in order when thinning LG. ;)

thre really isnt much you can do once it gets thick. I know there is some chemical that you can add...and it was posted here awhile back. I think by Dunebug (maybe try doing a search on the forum)
 
You could try setting the LG bottle in some hot water, and it may help thin it, but if if the cap was loose and it got really thick there may be no help....
