In Response To: Epoxy: light sensitivity (David Humphries)

: I notice that all epoxy components come in opaque containers, is this because
: the unmixed components are UV/light unstable. I am just considering how I
: will store the last 50mls out of the 5 litre containers (free up a little
: storage space until next time). I have some nice size plastic containers
: but they are not completely opaque
: thanks

Can't comment on light sensitivity , but it seems logical. Check with ATL in Brisbane.
Suggestion: Wrap some black tape around the containers.
