We had the same problem with both our clear and white B-72.  Also we had
problems with it drying out before we could use it all.  However, we have
found a rather successful answer.

We transfer our B-72 to smaller nail polish bottles that we have emptied and
cleaned out and put new labels on.  Since we started doing that we haven't
had any problems with not being able to get the bottle open and are acryloid
has started lasting us three times as long as it did before since it no
longer dries up.
