Apparently cleaning the cap with acetone nail polish remover is supposed to help.

@craftywoman With them apart blow through them. Sound like they are clogged right as glue goes in from bottom of lid.

I haven't touched a bottle of the stuff in years, but I remember staying in from recess often meant cleaning the bottles... Removed the cap, separating the orange "twist" cap from the rest of the white cap, taking a small screwdriver and peeling out the dried stuff, then poking the dried stuff through the top out the threaded end of the cap.
