That means it's past its prime. Time to buy a new bottle.
Yeah, I know, the stuff costs a lot more than Titebond, so you don't want to
buy another bottle until you've gotten your money's worth out of this bottle,
right? Consider the difference in cost between a new bottle, and a ruined
project, if this glue turns out to be no good.
If you insist on thinning it and using it anyway, paint thinner (mineral
spirits) may do the trick -- but, whether you thin it or not, I strongly
suggest testing it with a couple pieces of scrap wood, to make sure that it
still bonds adequately, before using it on any project you care about.

Here's a quote from the FAQ's on the Excel web site:
"Can These Glues Be Thinned or Diluted?
We do not recommend thinning these glues in strength-related glue-ups. If
the glue is being used to repair cracks, rot spots, etc., the glues can be
diluted using about 30 to 50% acetone or lacquer thinner."

The cleanup solvent is acetone, so that should thin it. Don't know if it
will still be any good afterwards.

no the site does not mention it but the guys from gorilla glue do.

I wouldn't think it can be thinned. It is supposed to be solvent free,
which leads me to believe there's nothing to thin it with. I looked at
Gorilla's site and it doesn't mention that at all.

gorilla glue says it's not a problem to thin it. but their glue has no solvents
like other poly glues do. I have done it and it worked fine. but usually it's
time to chuck it.
