Epoxy is "slushy"

I just started to mix a batch of epoxy and my pump sputtered and the flow of epoxy stopped. I have plenty of volume and ambient temp in my basement is unchanged (about 67F). I unscrewed the cap and found the resin to have a slushy consistency.

Any suggestions/ideas welcome.

Thanks.

RE: Epoxy is "slushy"

Your resin has crystallized.  It happens.  The fix is quick, easy, and permanent:  immerse your jug(s) of resin in a pail of hot water. The resin will return to normal clarity and viscosity.

   This can happen to the resin and can be reversed by heating it up. I have used a plastic kitty litter bucket (two 1 gal. jugs are a perfect fit) and very hot water to "melt" the slush. As far as I know this has no ill effects and warm epoxy is less viscous which helps when wetting out FG cloth.

The hot water treatment worked like a charm.

Thanks !
