How to thin out Finish Line Dry Teflon Chain Lube
Last summer I purchased 32 oz of Finish Line Dry Teflon Lube. The weather has gotton better so I was going to ride today, but when I started pouring some of the Finish Line Dry Teflon Lube onto my chain, it looks like it started to solidify (not completely solid but the consistency of white yogurt) due to the storage in my garage in cold temperture over the winter. Any way to thin this lube out so I can use it on my chain? or do I have to throw it out and purchase a new bottle? Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

All you are seeing is a physical change. The lubricant didn't go 'bad' because of the cold. Not many things really do go bad because of cold.
