I've got some dribs and drabs of polyester resin in the bottom of some

I also made the mistake of dumping some left-over resin from one
distributer
into the container of another creating a weird jelly like substance that
refuses to cure in any fashion.


Should I just drip in some MEKP into the containers, or is there a better
way?

If you want the official solution call your local waste managment
facility.


In a lot of places, that would just bring more attention to you. I
think the other posters idea of throwing out a big ball of plastic is
probably best.


No, if the OP only has a few gallons of junk resin, it should go where
it belongs- the waste management facility. Should be able to get rid
of small amounts at no cost.

55 gallon drums might be a little different but certainly cheaper to
dispose of properly than to pay the fine for doing it wrong.
