epoxy still good after a year?

Well it's been a little over a year since I was on this board. I bought and restored a International Scout. Now that is done and I need to make a couple of rods.

Is my LS supreme still good? It has been in the bottles stored in a closet.

Thanks,

John Chaney

p.s. in case you were interested in my non-fishing prodject

For all intents and purposes, epoxy never goes bad. Should the resin crystalize, you can just heat it with a few short 8 to 10 second blasts in the microwave or sit the bottle in a pan of very hot water for a few minutes. It will return to like new condition.

Just make sure that it is still clear. I had some that sat in my garage for a year, never crystalized, but turned very, very yellow. Mixed it up and it cured fine in the cup, but way to yellow to use.
