: I used the West resin and the 207 hardener to build a Euro paddle. It worked
: great, but did blush when I used it a couple of times before varnishing.

Think you're misunderstanding blush. That's a waxy film that is formed by the resin/hardener as it cures. Using it can't cause blush. The UV resistance of the 105/207 is better than normal resins but isn't enough to resist UV by itself. It'll turn cloudy if used alone, but that's not blush.
