A while back I read about Bob Smith Epoxy going bad, Well when that happened I just heated it in hot water and it worked. This was with all epoxy regardless of trade name .But I ordered an order less than two weeks ago, placed it on the shelf in a basement hobby room and in both the five minute and the thirty minute epoxy the resin has started to crystalize so I am thinking he is selling old stock from his business or they have removed a chemical inhibitor to stop the crystalizing.

Here's is that "not all that old" thread.....

..... given that your purchase is very recent, it seems like your supplier is selling very old stock... and you may want to return the stock/let the supplier know ......although warming the stuff in water (prior to mixing the resin and hardener parts) makes the epoxy usable I would still do a test glue up before using on a model....

thanks for the update

YEP already let supplier know, not the little boy helper, the mister big himself. I thought no use complaining to #0 go #1.
