Made a build last night and noticed the red bottle of Prokote has turned a darker yellow. Luckily we were coating yellow thread. I have read on here that the shelf life is about 6 months but we have only had this bottle about 3 months. Our garage where we do our work gets quite warm here in the deep South as we don't run the air all the time. Does heat accelerate the breakdown? Edited 1 time(s).

It hasn't "broken down." Epoxy doesn't break down - it'll be fine for years and years.
All epoxies are going to yellow, either in the bottle or on the rod. Nature of the beast. .......... Re: Prokote

I have had some epoxies turn a deep oxblood red over time. Epoxy is still good to use and the color change isn't noticed much when applying 2 or 3 thin coats. Rog Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
