I guess it is better to laugh then to cry. But this brings up a good point. What is the life span of unused epoxy? I thought that I read that the resin and hardener have an unlimited shelf life. I have used epoxy that has sat for over a year with good results. If the resin starts to get cloudy, I put the bottle in a pan of hot water until it is clear again. Am I looking for trouble by doing this?
