If it will set or not really depends what the "problem" is.
Did you use the correct ratio of resin to hardener? Properly Mixed? Temperature? Humidity? Contaminants?
They are the obvious things that can cause issues. If the resin and harderner ratio is massively out then you will struggle, as will you if the mixing was poor or there were inhibiting contaminants (rare with epoxies).
However, temperature and humidity can be solved in most cases. Heat often solves both. Uncured epoxy is fairly hydoscopic so absorbs moisture so often lower temperatures cause 2 problems, by delaying the cure due to temperature, thus giving the opportunity for moisture to be absorbed - especially in sheds/garages/outbuildings. If the resin hasn't cured too much you can sometimes with heat drive the moisture out and get away fairly lightly with just needing a bit of sanding and polishing to restore the surface finish.
