The essence of the material does make it dry hard and can cause caps to stick.
Use some vaseline on the inside thread of your caps. The new glass jars are
an improvement.

I use rubbing alcohol to thin my hard head the older bottles recommended thinning with alcohol.
[jerry goldsmith] Ginger,
The need to thin Loon products has always been a major detriment for me. I
have thrown away a bunch of loon products because the cap froze to the point
where I had to use a vise grip to try and open it. I usually ended up
breaking the whole thing !!

I've never had a single problem with the caps...........course i've only
been using the stuff for bout 3 yrs. I take the lousey brushes in the caps
out and throw them away.......they suck. Just use a bodkin........much more
accurate. I only use the Hard Head for certain purposes. I use a LOT of
different head cements of varying kinds for lots of different types of fly
tying, and purposes. Mostly water based for regular ole' fishsin' flies.
Dave's Flexament for treating wings/cases/feathers, and Griff's for some
things, and a LOT of Salley's and other Nail Polishes for Salmon flies. The
Loon products are good for streamer heads, and salt waterflies, and some
salmon fly heads.....depending. mark
