My Ultrahold dried up into a big glob from months of non-use. Is there a way to restore the UH? Maybe add alcohol??

Completely dried up I would just toss it... one supplier has the 3.4oz for $25 bucks now and free shipping over $50. I bought 2 in the past (not at that price) and it was ~7 months before I opened the second bottle and it worked fine... just finishing it up. The key seems to be getting it completely sealed up when finished, keeping the air out. I clean the threads with 99% every so often to make sure it can screw on tight. Also I keep mine at a steady temp in my lab.

On another board someone mentioned putting a tiny amount of alcohol or witch hazel in the bottle if it was just starting to harden up. I never tried it though.

Its toast fella, Chuck it in the rubbish bin.

I'm assuming when you say "dried up" you mean "unbrushable".

If it is still pliable it works great for touch ups. Put a little bit on the tip of your finger and smear it on your skin. You don't even have to wait for it to dry.....

I wish they would have a florescent colored cap. I have started to tape mine up with florescent tape so that I notice the cap not being on the bottle before walking away. I have had a habit in the past of mistakenly leaving the cap off, then going to sit down waiting for the glue to dry, then relizing 20 minutes later that I left the cap off. It doesnt' take much time for it to dry out.
