FYI dont mix up the caps on your rod bond!!!!
Grabbed the jars to do a quick repair and couldn't figure how the lids got so tightly closed i couldn't open them. I even labeled the tops so i wouldn't get confused.
Rookie mistake.

I had that done with me, i got a sharp knife and carefully went around the underside of the cap until The tip of the knife was getting under the cap a bit, then I tried to open it, after a few times it came loose but one got cracked and broke, but all I had left was enough to do a couple more rods. Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

FYI what I do to avoid that. open resin take out what I need, close container and put it back on shelf. grab hardener, open take out what I need close container and put back on shelf.
you're not the first to do that and probably not the last.
I have problems with cork seal. I got it confused with something else and grabbed the container sideways and spun the lid. well at least now the bench top is preserved.

Whenever I purchase tubs of epoxy, the first thing that I do is to mark the date of purchase on the package.
Then, I mark the side of the A jar and the A Lid with an A.
Then, I mark the side of the B jar and the B lid with a B.

I buy 2 lbs jars of epoxy at a time, so I don't constantly have to replace my supply.

To apply and mix, I use large 1 inch in diameter syringes. I cut the nozzles off of the syringes, and drill a 1/4 inch hole in the bottom of the syringes. This large hole allows the A or B part of the epoxy to be sucked up in the syringe.

I also h ave A and B syringes, clearly marked that go back into A and B pvc tubes to hold the syringes, with no cleaning required.

Take care

Good info.
I gave the jars a good twist and was able to open them. Like Lorenzo i only have enough left for one more seat or grip anyway.
Ordered Propaste- red cap with red jar, blue cap with blue jar- if i screw that up i deserve it.LOL
