Pink Glitter slowly spreads pigment MONTHS after curing

I bought many bottles of this before Covid lost my job and used it a lot. I thought it was great until recently. I have noticed that some of my pieces that have now aged 6-12 months are showing pigment release from the solvent resistant pink sparkles in particular. The image shows bleeds here and there from smaller star-shaped sequins throughout the piece. Another piece features a pastel pink unicorn like the silver image and slowly bled over time, turning the entire item yellow and the unicorn was now silver instead of pink. This doesn't happen under UV light, but after they've supposedly fully cured and definitely become solid and tactile. And it seems that this only started a few months after the products were created and partially sold to customers. The piece in the picture has been stored in a cool and dark place, fully protected from light. I will never use this resin again as I cannot make any salable items from it. I've spent hundreds of dollars and a lot of time making things that I can't sell now if they have pink glitter in them. I'll update this post as I get more parts from storage, but I don't understand how this type of bleeding can occur in a part that's already fully healed. It makes no sense. rubbish, unfortunately.
