Default Old Acraglas?

I found an old box of acraglas steel bed.Ten years?15 years? Lol
The little tubs were unopened but it is harder than normal and looks like it’s chrystalizing. Is there a good way to soften it up and use it or is it garbage?
Thanks

I tried using an old pack one time and it never did harden properly. I use JB weld now and it works great for me and is easy to get

How crystalized? If it's gone sugary similar to how old honey in a jar goes I'd throw it out. On the other hand if it re emulsifies when stirred up I would mix up a small sample and see if it hardens properly, then I'd decide if I wanted to risk using it. It's not all that expensive to replace it.

Been there and tried it , throw it away . It seem as though it cures but never gets 100 % hard.
