Rod bond question...

A while back I got a set of rod bond Resin / Hardner. When I opened them up, the hardner was fine, but the resin seemed to be dry or starting to crystalize. Can I heat the resin to solve this before I mix them?
Thanks,
Jeff

P.S. both parts have been stored at room temp since they arrived here. Don't know where or how long they have been anywhere else ?

Jeff,
Easily solved. Remove the lid from the resin and put it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. (It wouldn't hurt to cover it with a paper towel or something to keep it from spattering in the microwave). You should not have to do anything with the hardner.

Jeff,
If you don't have or don't want to use the microwave, you can use a pan of hot water just as well. It just takes a few more minutes.

Take care
Roger

Thanks, think I'll use the warm water idea... don't like using the microwave for anything but food... :)
Thanks again, another lesson learned here.
