Epoxy: Waxy buildup

Hello All,
I went to use a small bottle of Raka 127 resin tonight and noticed what looked like wax in the bottom of the bottle. It was a large amount of this substance. The funny thing is I used this same resin last night and there was nothing but resin in the bottle The epoxy is about two years old and this is the first time I have noticed it. I was able to clear up the resin by holding the bottle in a pan of boiling water and it and it dissolved. What is this stuff and is the epoxy still useable?
