Hi !Russ (is the ! silent or pronounced? :-) )

I understood that curing epoxy might be more susceptible to UV damage. Indeed I deliberately left the dregs from epoxying my hull in the sun and it yellowed very quickly. Perhaps the yellowing wouldn't show with the wood color behind.

have you seen any yellowing of the epoxy in the sun? (I'm using Raka).

cheers

Les
