Hi! Fred.
If Araldite 420 is what was Redux my perception is that it is particulaly
sensitive to freezing effects. If you bought the kit are you confident it
was always in a warm environment? Redux paste could be regenerated by
melting the crystaline aged paste. However for date info it is best to ask
professionals (who don't stand to make a buck from you by selling
replacement) in the know depending if you are needing to use it on
structural work.
