Epoxy: Tune up for pumps

I guess it is not a great idea to take as long as I have to build my CLC kit. I was able to beat down the perfectionist dragon and was about to put deck on hull.

But....... found out my pumps won't work.

Any ideas on how to get 'em functioning again?

Any details on measuring using weight rather than volume. Someone posted they used an inexpensive digital scale from Harbor Freight and got the weight per ounce from the manufacturer. (Easier to do if you don't discover the issue on Friday afternoon and live on the west coast.

I think I have heard that the hardeners take on a tint but seem to do their job despite age. MAS says the resin has "an infinite shelf life"
Thanks for the help.

Gonna get this boat finished!!!!!!
