Microwave it for about twenty seconds. It will be nice and runny.
kidding!
Opened bottles of CA will generally keep for about 90 days at room temperature before starting to go bad. Once it starts to thicken its had it; time for a new bottle.
Refrigeration can extend the glue's shelf life, but there are a few issues to contend with. You need to allow the glue to warm up normally to room temperature before using it. Cold glue takes longer to cure, offers weaker bonds and condeses water inside the bottle from the warm air is sucked in to replace the cold glue that has been dispensed. This extra water further contaminates the glue.
