Well, this *is* Weldwood from the local Lowe's. There are other brands right next to it that may work better.

This is absolutely true - I've thrown out any number of bottles because buying a fresh bottle of cement was easier (and probably no less expensive) than finding the right solvent. Eventually, it's hard to get the lid off. In addition to finding the solvent in the store, getting it mixed in completely in that narrow-necked bottle has always made thinning the old stuff seem like too much bother.
