I noticed that too, but learned to always stir the tan stuff before use. Else 
you
can also store the tan jug upside down periodically.

I went through cumulatively 4 gallons of the stuff - old Europa wings finished
to dial indicator accuracy per Bob Arnold's tape. Toward the end, especially for
small batches, I just eyed blobs for 2:1 ratio, while always noting apparent
2:1 remaining in the containers.  Never once had a cure or other problem.  Even
tried thinning with alcohol -- scraping a surface down and reapplying it a
couple times dries it out but good.  That worked(!), though not recommended.
So did some drops of mixed epoxy finishing resin from the hobby shop. Found 
SuperFil
is very forgiving stuff.
