Quoting from Gary Hunter's OSH Forum handout " Everything You Wanted to Know
About Epoxy Resins for Composite Homebuilts, But Didn't Know to Ask".

"What is the shelf life for resins and curing agents?"
A. "Some formulators state one year-it sells more resin."
B. "Properly formulated resins will keep forever if stored properly.
Tightly sealed container@70 degrees F, + or - 15 F."
C. "Most Curing Agents will keep forever if stored properly.  Tightly sealed
container@70 degrees F, + or - 15 F.  Direct sun light will cause
darkening - brown.  Exception-EZ-Poxy 83,84,87 may increase in viscosity if
storage temperatures are too high. (per CPD)"
D.  "Refrigeration WILL enhance shelf life."

 I have been out of town a few days or I would have posted this sooner.
