Old Rustoleum Epoxy Floor Covering -- any good?

I'm going through a big clean-up/reorganization/throw-out on the garage right now (kind of like what my former employer did earlier this year!) and I ran across 2 boxes of Rustoleum Epoxy Floor Covering that I bought about 10 years ago and forgot about.

Any chance this stuff is still good? Does it improve with age like a fine wine or does it go bad like a cheap beer?

Keep in mind that this stuff is in the garage so its gone through thermal cycles from the 20's up to perhaps 120-130 degrees (this is in Texas, after all.)

Wow, the silence here is deafening. No one knows anything about this stuff?

Looks like I'll be throwing this stuff out.

If it is truly epoxy it has likely crystallized by now.
It can be brought back to a liquid through a heating process.
However, I wouldn't chance using it as it's a mess if it doesn't cure.

I would have to think after 10 years its a goner. You may be able to bring it back with heat, but I'm not sure. You should call the manufacturer, they may be able to work out a deal on a swap for new product or at least a discount. Thats what I would do with one of my customers....
