Poxy Gone Bad?

About a year ago I received two bottles of Poxy as a gift with purchase. Shortly after receiving them I noticed that the bottles started to cave in, and while I don’t remember exactly what the Poxy itself looked like, it now kind of looks like cottage cheese. No amount of shaking, which I have done from time to time, will solidify the product completely, or return the bottles to a normal shape. And, yes, I tried the ball bearing trick. Both bottles are stored inside the house, where they haven’t been exposed to heat or cold.

I haven’t experienced the bottle distortion with anything else, so I don't know if it’s typical of Poxy, or if there are other types of products that can cause a bottle to lose its shape. Considering how the Poxy now looks, I wasn't sure if I should even try it, or if it was bad to begin with and should just be tossed. Does it typically look more like a polish?
 
I had a similar experience with the bottle of poxy I had ordered awhile ago. Ended up shaking it pretty violently for a good 5-10 minutes but eventually it all mixed back up. Was a real pain cause the bottle was full to the top so the liquid didn't really have room to move/mix
 
Shake it like a polaroid for a good bit, leave it, then come back and do it again. It should re-constitute back together hopefully. I had to shake the ever living crud out of it for a good while. Maybe make friends with the paint guy at home depot and let him put it in the mixer for you lol

You're right about the bottles being full, but I can hear it sloshing around. It just doesn't seem to mix into a smooth consistency.

I've tried doing exactly what you suggested - the shaking part - but it didn't make much of a difference. I had considered taking it to a local paint store, but because of the size and shape of the bottle didn't know if they'd be able to clamp it in the machine that shakes the paint.

Put a ball bearing or large nut in the bottle. It will help with the mixing.

Already tried that, but thanks for the suggestion.
 
Worse came to worse I know Home Depot and Lowes sell quart and gallon paint cans. Dump it in one and I'm sure the paint department can clamp that.
 
My bottle is caved in also, but the Poxy is still like a heavy suntan lotion. Try submerging the bottle in very hot water for 15 minutes then shake it up for a good while with the ball bearing in the bottle. If that doesn't work contact HD Customer Service.
 
My poxy was caved in when it came in last week. I thought the pastey yellow was how it was suppose to look?
