pot life of mixed epoxy

Hey a month or a little longer or so ago mixed up some black epoxy. I sprayed parts and had some leftover put it in a jar with a lid. My son used some of it to brush some on where he used a grinder on something. Anyhow he asked what to do with the rest of it. I told him to put it in the fridge. Well he put it in the freezer and was forgotten about. Well more that a month latter it is still liquid. Not that I would put it on something that matters but if this stuff was brought up to room temperature would it still be usable?
 
it was ruined within 24 hours of putting in the freezer, it will now never fully cure at 2000 degrees, yes dry to touch but never fully cure.
 
Thanks Berry Now I know. I was shock that it was not hard or at least thickened up some. What happens to it to make it do that? Is it the same kind of thing that happens when you spray it and not keep it at least 65 degrees for 24 hours?
 
Even though epoxy has some alcohol in it for curing, there is a chance during the beginning of the curing process the epoxy can form its own alcohol, and it does it will never cure.
