Can Mighty Putty Go Bad?

I got some Mighty Putty recently and it was just…well….bad. Let me explain, I have used Mighty Putty brand epoxy before and loved it. I use it for my sculptures I do with polymer clay. I ordered some more putty because my supplies began to run low and there is something wrong with it. Instead of a normally white center with the same consistency as the green around it, its grey and sticky. The green outside is hard as if it has cured already and it gives off a strong chemical smell, almost identical to the smell of someone receiving a perm. It doesn’t mix evenly and is blue/green in color as opposed to off white. The sticks I used previously where taller than these, and came in simple plastic tubes. The containers are more intricate now and the sticks of epoxy are much shorter. Has this happened to anyone else? What do you think happened to it? Has it gone bad or went through some sort of chemical reaction? All help is appreciated! ^^

Yes,

Mighty Putty can go bad. The Green outside is the hardener. The light grey is the base. When Kneaded together the epoxide poly (epoxy) is formed. Unfortunately, if old or handled roughly, the two can begin to bond. It will weaken, if not make entirely useless, the epoxy you wish to create. This is that smell that you get prior to kneading it.
