Material: shelf life of fiberglass cloth

Does fiberglass cloth deteriorate in any manner if stored for several years before using. I had purchased 60 yds of 6 oz a couple of years ago that I haven't put to use yet. It has been stored in its original carton (rolled and plastic wrapped) in the house, and I am wondering if it there could be any problem getting the epoxy resin to adhere and wet out properly on my next build.
thanks
