Help! My resin is turning pasty.

Hey All,

I could use some advice here. Last night I finally settled in to do some finishing work on the CLC I built last year. I had everything sanded and ready to epoxy when I could not get much out of my resin pump. I took it out and the plunger part was half full of this white pasty stuff. The resin in the bottle seems OK.

Now I received the epoxy(MAS) about a year ago, and last used it in August. I am guessing it is dried out resin in the pump. Is there a way that I can clean this out, or should I chuck the pumps in the garbage and get some measuring cups for the work I have left? Does anyone know how to contact MAS?

Thanks for the help, CHad
