: +1
: It may vary with 'brand' but I've had WEST hardener that had turned
: very dark (in the opened can with pump) after several (5?) years
: on the shelf -looked pretty dark but cured up fine. A trial
: batch is always a good check.

Epoxy and hardener stored in metal cans never see UV, that stored in plastic sometimes gets degraded partially with excess light in the shop. Most brands say to store in a dark cool place, for good reason.
