: Before you send it back, mix a small trial batch and put it out in
: the sun - just to see if it was you or the epoxy. I've never
: heard of epoxy going bad.

I have had it go bad, but it turned red, not yellow, and it would no longer kick fully- just stayed a goopy mess. I believe humidity may play a factor. Also what is it that actually makes epoxy kick? Does that ingredient evaporate from the hardener over time?
