John,
Don't trow away the resin (if it is Epoxy?). The problem usually is the hardener. I never had resin go bad, but the hardener will turn crusty and crystalize. Just get some new hardener and try again.

Today I had to put another layer of glass on the radiator diffusers.  I believe I glassed the diffusers back in May and the epoxy just didn't want to harden up.  I'm sure that tossing out 3 gallons of epoxy is making my Scotch ancestors roll over in there graves, don't purchase more material than you can use in a reasonable length of time, of course everyone knows that, right. The new layer of epoxy is looking good tonight.  I did try reheating the epoxy to breath new life into it, but something else happened to it that the heat didn't fix.  JohnD    Don't you just have to love this homebuilding curve
