Another Clear Coat Question

The actual name of Etex is Envirotex Lite. It's sold in 2 ea 8 oz bottles in a blue and white box in the decoupage/gold leafing section of Michael's craft stores. Very cost efficient but it requires multiple coats and rotation for several hours to prevent sags and drips. I mostly use Devcon Two Ton epoxy, which is a glue and is thicker than Etex, requiring one coat and rotation for 1 hour. It used to be sold at Walmart but now I can only find it online. Flexcoat V is similar in use to Etex but it contains a UV inhibitor that should keep the bait from yellowing for longer than standard epoxies. Keep in mind that all finishes will yellow over time from UV exposure and the few UV inhibited epoxies are premium finishes, sold at a premium - but you get what you pay for. The best way to prevent yellowing is to measure the proportions accurately and mix them very well. Failure to measure/mix properly is the main cause of failure to harden and premature yellowing.

That's some good info there, thanks Bob!
