Hazy/milky devcon 2 ton

[The Guy]

I’ve used devcon quite a bit and never had any issues.  I recently got some more (the 2 4.5oz bottles) and no matter how much I mix it it stays cloudy.  Previously  it would cloudy and then clears while mixing.  I tried it on a lure last night and the finish came out cloudy instead of the usual glassy clear. I’ve tried a couple times with the same result.  

Can the devcon go bad?

 

thanks for your help

Yup... i got a bad tube once before, but only once.... also i run into difficulty in cold weather (unless i preheat the epoxy and everything it touches)... and the last bit in the tube never mixes right and can be cloudy sometimes

I did however find a good use for the bad tube... since i also make soft baits, i used it to seal my masters... doesn't matter if theyre cloudy, as long as theyre smoothe and shiny

I use alot of devcon too, so getting the one bad tube is not indicitive of the quality of the product... theres no telling how many good tubes i went thru before and after that one... I always say D2T is like the Franks Red Hotsauce of my shop.... i put that sh*t on everything

I had one new tube that was bad. I think it had been sitting in the store for quite a while. I didn't notice it was slightly cloudy when I bought it.

I had a second tube go bad because I left it in my car overnight in winter.

Thanks for the replies.  

Here’s an update: it looks like it was user error.  I decided to give it another shot and it came out normal.  The best I can figure is I got the ratio wrong while pouring.  All is well again.
