Big box store resin

[Dennischaves]

I have a few pieces of wood that i need to tab in for my back to back seats to mount to so i dont drill holes in my new deck
So i ran out of resin and i bought a gallon of resin at a big box store and why is this stuff so thick and so hard to wet out 1708
Can i thin it a little with acetone as its not really structual?

I have used Home Depot resin with 1708 in a pinch and didn't have any problems. Never had any problems with it being too thick. What is the temperature where you are using it?

Im in new england (Ma) it was about 70degrees
I have noticed this before with other brands
But this one was also from home depot
It will wet out but takes a lot longer and more effort

because the resin at big box stores has been sitting on the shelf for about 3 years
