Haven’t used it in quite awhile..what’s the best way to get it solvent again..it’s like a thick grease right now. Seems the thinner or mineral spirits all evaporated

I would boil a pot of water. Remove it from the heat and set that plastic bottle in that hot water. When it gets syrupy I would add some mineral spirits. You may have to replace the hot water a few times.
I would roughly guestimate how much is left in that bottle/jug and add back in 10% by volume odorless mineral spirits.
I made mine with cheap paint thinner that I had in the basement. It has worked just fine. Coleman fuel/Naphtha would work also. But the original recipe that Recluse gifted to us all called for odorless mineral spirits. Recluse refers to the finished consistency as like that of Coca-Cola.
