Default PolyEpoxy Part A Shelf Life

We don't do to much fiberglass work - thank goodness - and I have just had a second quart of Part A PolyEpoxy from A/C Spruce go hard and crystalline on me in a year. There is no "use by date" on the can or in the catalogue that I can find.

Does anyone know what the useful shelf life of PolyEpoxy is? Also do any of the other systems last longer?

PS - This lot was bought at the very end of October 2007 so it's only 8 months old and was not opened until now.

I'll try to bump this one.

No one got any experience with A/C Spruce PolyEpoxy?

Checked with other folks.
Should re-melt to a liquid state with no ill effect if can heated to ~140F in bowl of hot water.
Wish I hadn't disposed of it now
