Tim,

According to the spec sheet on that product:

https://www.usg.com/content/dam/USG_Marketing_Communications/united_states/product_promotional_materials/finished_assets/sheetrock-all-purpose-joint-compound-submittal-J1969.pdf

Under the section "Shelf life", they say it is good for up to nine 
months.  So if
you're like me and have actually had that stuff around for a couple 
years, I'd say
it's history.  Not to mention that it's not that expensive to buy 
another small bucket
for your project.

John
