Kodak fixer A question

[herb]

My dealer had a bottler of the A, pretty old, that has a bit of sediment on the bottom of the unopened bottle. the 2 gallon concentrate size.
Any body had any experience with this? I am warming it in hot water to see if I can get it back in solution, and failing there, plan to try and dissolve it when I mix it. The tiny bottle of part B is fine.

How does it smell?
If it smells strongly of sulfur, it is too late. Warming won't make a difference - the sediment won't go back into solution.
If there is just a slight smell. mix up some film strength working solution and try a clip test. What is the clearing time?

Finally got finished with snow and was able to mix up the fixer. Milky, but it worked just fine. Any way to clear it?

Fixer is so cheap I cannot imagine why anyone would waste time on old, highly questionable material.
