 I may be the one misunderstanding the OP's request, but I thought he 
 was asking about 2 part epoxy - Paint - not laminating resin.  If so 
 there isn't much that can be done about extending the shelf life once 
 the hardner has been opened.  Maybe blow some argon from the TIG in 
 the can and do the same with a zip-lock bag around it for storage? 
 
  The last place to store it is in the fridge with food.  (been there, 
 done that, and the fridge made the food taste strange for more than a 
 year) The stuff reacts with moisture and the innards of a fridge is a 
 very moist place.

Leon, 
 
You may be the only one who caught the "spraying" part of the original 
post.  Yes, I believe he was referring to two-part epoxy paint and 
everyone was answering for two-part epoxy adheasive and resins.  I 
don't know of any way to extend the shelf life of two-part epoxy 
paints but would like to hear some good answers.
