if glass or hardener is exposed to freezing temps does it loose its checmical properties... i tried using a year old can of resin and hardener that were out in my garage and it wouldn't cure!!

if not freezing and other ideas?

I even mixed to pretty hot so it would set faster.. didnt cure to this day! went out and built new trim pieces and bought new resin and hardener and viola! its perfect?? any ideas?

thankyou Steve

resin has a shelf life of 90 days or so. the cold will affect the curing time. it will also make the resin more gel like. if it is kinda gelled form being cold, take it inside and let it warm up for a while before you try and use it. it will only make things easier for you in the long run.....installguy509

it is probably the 90 days, it was room temp when i used it, i may have had in the garage through an entire winter and then tryed it again in the spring, good note for next time! thanks Mechanik!
