In addition th shaking, hit the bottle on the heel of your hand to loosen things up. Remember, these paints are supposed to be thick. They are to be thinned before uisng (tap water works fine.)

If it really is not mixing, grab the tip and pull it to the side. It will pop off and you can get a toothpick inside to stir it up. The  tip will slide right back on.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Can't do that unfortunately. Andrea acrylics comes in drip bottles, can barely get a needle into the hole. My question remains....

I'm not familiar with those paints, but I'll bet they didn't fill the bottle through that little, bitty hole.  Are you sure the top doesn't pull out or pop off or something?

You might try sitting the bottles upside down for a day or so and see if that will soften the paint that has accumulated at the top.

Rather than shaking, try stirring.  Hopefully everything will blend back together.

Andrea acrylics, thick in bottle

I got some Andrea acrylics that has been standing up for a long time, and the paint at the top of the bottle is really thick. I could barely get any paint out of the bottle yesterday, it was like a thick paste. Can I put the bottle in some luke warm water to solve the clog?
I also got one bottle of gun metal grey that all the silver has sunk to the bottom.
I shaked the bottles until my arms almost fell off, no luck. I can hear liquid in the bottles, so they are not dried up.
