Hi all, I havent been around for a while. Im not building another boat, and so I got out some old epoxy. The part B looks good. But the part A (the clear one) is very cloudy and a bit hard in the middle.

Im sure I wont use it on the boat. But I also have an old bench top id like to use it on, if its savable. Is it savable?

Seems like I recall someone saying if it thickens up, you can apply some low heat to get it back to normal? But i am getting old.


Thanks in advance :)

Usually when I have questions about such things, I try a little test amount to see if it setup properly. If so, then use it, if not, then throw it all way. But do a test batch and see. JMHO!

I agree with gm ... Mix a small batch and see if it cures ...

Warm it up, epoxy can look sketchy and still be good.

Yep. Old epoxy can look like old honey... Warm it up and if it thins back out and looks good it should be fine.

Note that mixing warmed epoxy will make it set up faster.
