I have been putting the finishing touches on the triple cc barrelback.
I used several coats of WM 105/206 epoxy and have about 4 coats o
Epifanes on top of the epoxy.  The finish looks great but the Epifane
varnish says it is clear but actually dries amber like.  It only i
noticable over the white styrene strips.  Is there any method to avoi
this effect?  I'm also building a CC 19ft racer and was thinking o
just using the epoxy and clear coat and dumping the varnish al
together.  Any thoughts or suggestions?
On a side note- don't thin the varnish with denatured alcohol i
becomes cloudy.  Minieral spirits works much better

nature of the beast, all varnish I know of either starts out yellow or does
so as it ages. sunlight only encourages it. as varnish is esentially clear
enamal...you are quite right about mineral spirits.
