There doesn't seem to be a canon answer, so I will speculate.

It's possible that the potion is not supposed to be epecially thick or
glutinous, only it turned out that way when a Second year student made it.

It's possible that the addition of distilled water, or even hard
alcohol for verisimilitude, to the solution doesn't affect it magically.

It's possible that the flask has flexible sides (say if the metal were
thin, or if it were mylarized plastic) and so the potion could be
squeezed out.
