While I don't know the cause of the lumps (my current can of yellow goo is
almost sandy in texture) I can tell you that when thoroughly mixed with the
hardener the resulting goop is without lumps. Here in So Cal where the
climate is mild and semi-arid I do not think the lumps are from atmospheric
things like humidity, so I just ignored the lumps and have used almost the
entire can of the stuff. I was concerned at first (the first can was not
lumpy) but after a few trials where flight safety was not an issue and the
stuff set up solidly (and was a bear to un-bond) I decided that it probably
was reaching full strength.
Best regards,

Subject: Lumps in the Redux?
Has anybody else got lumps in the yellow part of the Redux ?
The first tin I opened to use turned out to have some lumps, or rather
flakes a couple of mm's large, a bit like a tin of paint that has been
left open and then mixed up but it was not only in the surface. Taking a
portion from the middle of the tin gave the same result. The tin still
has some years of shelf life....
