This is very strange. I see no way that bringing old epoxy into a colder space would loosen the epoxy, so any problems you have with the epoxy had be there before you moved it. If the epoxy seemed cured before you moved it, either you did not notice the problem, or your problem is something else entirely.

If it is just a problem you overlooked before (most likely), clean out the uncured epoxy with vinegar. Remove any fiberglass that is loose enough to be pulled off, and re-glass and epoxy. Make sure you mix the epoxy throughly. Make sure the temperature of the room is at least 65 degrees.

Some epoxy will blush even after it seems to be cured. This can cause a sticky film. If you use MAS Slow Cure form CLC, it is probably not blush. If you used Fast or Cool-Cure/Winter-Cure it could well be blush. Wash it with soap and water. Blush will not make drips, just a film.

If you know for sure the epoxy was fine before you moved it, the stickyness must be something else: mouse pee, spilled laundry detergent, ... something. Stick your nose near it and smell. After you regain conscienceness, figure out what made you faint and clean it up accordingly.
