I was going to post this in "tweaks", but figured I would get more response here in the general asylum.

I have had a small container of Mapleshade Sil-Clear for about 10 or 12 years that I had not used in a while. Tonight I used some Christmas lights of all things because I had some oxidation on the ends of some LED rope lights.
After opening the container and scooping some of the product out with a golf tee I noticed that it had become quite a bit stiffer than I had remembered.
I stirred the substance around vigorously with the golf tee for a bit. That seemed to help a bit, but it was still stiff.

Should I chuck it?

Should I put it in the microwave for 10 or 15 seconds?

Or.......
