Someone posted a while back about traditional Accraglass being hard to get. The gel type is available still. Over the years, I've found it tends to granulate and become hard to mix. A solution I've found works well is to measure it out on a small paper plate and heat it very briefly in a microwave-- maybe 20 seconds. It heats very fast and softens so that mixing is easy. I've also found that Laurel Mtn wood stain works well to color bedding compound. It doesn't make a muddy color like the stain that comes with the bedding kit.

A PhD Chemical Engineer who makes and sells high quality epoxy told me that it does indeed have a shelf life, and that old degraded epoxy is not as strong as fresh product. Since then, I either toss my old degraded epoxy, or use it for non-critical filler purposes.

Somebody else here said that a Customer Service Rep at Brownell's told him/her that he/she could salvage the old degraded Accraglas in a similar manner to this microwave heating. I still feel that is just poor judgement. Many chemical compounds simply don't stay fresh forever. Epoxy is not bourbon or fine wine. Exposure to air, heat, light, etc. all can have a negative effect. And negative consequences too.

I think I'd rather take advice about old degraded epoxy from someone who has a Doctorate degree in Chemical Engineering, and who actually makes the stuff. Of course, 39% of the public also believes that Biden is doing a great job too, so that proves there's no accounting for tastes... right Billy?

I posted the Acraglass info because it works. Keith is not obligated to follow it. PS: I'm still using the Linspeed from two years ago with the sheet metal screws in the lid.
