I had a set of bottles of 6 minute epoxy where the resin portionactually took a partial set n the bottle and turned thick and cloudy.It was not contaminated with hardener. Someone told me that it couldbe retored by putting it in the microwave until the coudinessdisappeared.Anyone know if this is true?Joe
