Fred,
The crystals are hard, they form on the top of the resin like a crust and 
convert any residue on the sides of the container, but they will disperse if 
you lower the container into hot or near boiling water for a while.  It 
works well and apparently does not affect the quality of resin.  However, I 
have never experienced flakes forming after mixing.  Perhaps it is something 
to do with the hardener?
Regards,
William
