bam424 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Can an opened 2 ton 30 min epoxy go bad? The clear liquid went like a clear milky and is hard to push out. I did have it for about half a year.maybe air got into it? I just won't use it, don't trust it. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Master Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 It got cold. Heat it up with a blow dryer, if it clears up, it's OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Epoxy resin can crystallize like honey and if you heat it up, it will return to liquid. If the hardener gets too old and turns dark, that is more serious because it can cause the epoxy not to cure properly. But I've kept D2T in my unheated garage for more than a year without problems. But it's much better to store it in the house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 My hardener is always a little yellow, but not dark. If it darkens, do a small test batch to see if it affects the epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 White? If that's the case something is definitely wrong with the epoxy. It should be clear. Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bam424 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yea that's why I tossed it. Luckily I didn't use it on a lure, cuz it looked off. Then I said nope ain't usin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
