LS2000(Old Formula)

I finished wrapping a rod last night and when I took out my LS2000 (purchased a couple of years ago) I noticed that the hardener component had turned yellowis brown. I had used a chestnut color thread and didn't think a little brown discoloration of the thread finish would hurt. It dried normally.
I wonder if it will continue to turn dark after being applied and has anyone seen this?

It is perfectly okay to use it. The discoloration of the hardener is frustrating but quite normal. Unless you are working with very light colored threads on a white blank where you are coating an inscription area, you will never notice it.

If you need an absolute water white clear coating, then PermaGloss is your best best - it will never turn. LS Supreme, due to its use of a different hardener, only turns very slightly. It is the clearest and truest color epoxy I have yet run across. I just used it on a white rod with white threads and cannot see any discoloration.
