45-45-10

I've been using the 45-45-10 lube very successfully for last year or so.
I store it in 2 16-oz plastic bottles with plastic snap-on cap.
What I notice is that lube shrinks quite a bit, the lube hardens to tar-like paste and the bottle convexes.
All I have to do is it put it in a pot of hot water and it becomes nice and liquidy again.
My question is what is that causes the shrinkage? Is that the mineral spirit mysteriously evaporating thru closed container? Should I add 5 or 10% by volume more mineral spirit to the liquified mix?
What's your experience with it?
