    I know that with Devcon Epoxy, it does have a shelf life of about
    two years. Not that it won't cure, but it takes forever to do so. 

    It could be that you either have an aged product, or the product has
    been switched to another manufacturer and the production standards
    are not the same. 

    I suggest that if you purchased the Colores from Rio Grande and if
    it is their product, then send a sample to their tech team and give
    them the exact protocol you used plus a sample you made it from. You
    can spend a lot of time trying figure out what happened, but time is
    precious. Rio is a great company if there is a product that is not
    working correctly, you can trust them to spend their time to research
    your issue and solve the problem. 

    Folks, I cannot stress enough how important it is when you are
    fabricating a piece of work, to DOCUMENT everything you are doing.
    The design stage is one part, but the rest of the fabrication is
    technical and requires good notes. When you run into a technical
    problem, if the problem didn't exist before, then your original
    notes will come in very handy.
