I have encountered inside a sword handle a substance that, as far as I could tell, was clear epoxy mixed with original boiled tree resin. It had not fully hardened, and showed no intent of ever doing so. A test blob may be wise to make.

With epoxy it was most likely a lack of the proper amount of hardener .
