I got a bottle for Christmas and have used it a few times. It's SOOOOO hard to squeeze. Is it usually like that, or is my basement craft room too cold?

It might be clogged. They are notorious for that. I keep a straight pin in the tip of my bottle between uses. It has really helped!

I do that, too. It comes out fine without it seeming clogged, it just seems like it's ridiculously thick.

It is really thick, there's nothing wrong with it. I saw somewhere that when you are through using it, you should hold it upright and squeeze out any that remains in the nozzle to prevent clogging. That seems to work pretty well for me.

Glad that it's not just me!

I've used Glossy Accents for years and have always had issues with the nozzle clogging! I've tried everything but what seemed to work was putting a pin in the tip. I just purchased (and received today) a "precision tip applicator" and replaced the top of my glossy accents with this (as recommended by Jennifer McGuire). I have yet to determine for myself how this actually works, but I use the same top on my Ranger Multi-Matte Medium and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

After pushing out the air, I store it upside down ( another use for PVC coupling!)

I haven't had an issue with clogging. I do store it with a pin in it and try to get all the air out when I'm finished. It's just the glue is so thick it's hard to squeeze it out. I wanted to make sure mine wasn't a fluke and it was supposed to flow better. I've watched the Jennifer Maguire videos and hers seems to flow easier.

My glossy accents is about as difficult to squeeze as Stickles. I can't say I notice a problem squeezing them.
it is thicker than Scotch quick dry or Mono Multi.
