In Response To: what about UV !RUSS? (Les Nightingill)

Hey Les,
YEah UV definatly afects the epoxy and quickly. Your right the dregs you find in the cup you used inside are ussualy clear and the hot stuff on a sunny day is ussually yellow. ITs true for Rakka nd the MAS I use

In the end, I sort of think it all comes together in the sun eventually anyways. After putting many coats of varnish on a boat a summers use ussually will even everything out even the Epoxy under it. So I think its probloby a bit of a wash.

Having said that I still think its best to do your work indoors if ya can, but on cookers like this one..... Hey I'm out side. I got to bottle as much of this as I can for Febuary. :)

I'm in photon absorbtion mode today. I am fixing a deck cleat on my GE and working on an Eric hybrid.

If it gets any hotter I may pull it all inside into the cool, of my shop but its nice to listen to the locusts.
