G4 Yellowing
Posted by: Daniel Kerr (---)

I recently used up my first bottles of G4 epoxy I bought last year. I really liked the product but most of all I liked that it didn't yellow nearly as bad as other epoxy. I even built a white rod and it looked great. The problem is that I ordered G4 and G4 low build and right away it it is way more yellow than the tester that I've had sitting in the sun for a year. Has anyone else experienced this? Did they change the formula?

I ordered a large batch after the great results from the test sized bottles. I noticed that it looked slightly tinted in my clear mix cup. I always leave the excess in the cup when I finish so I can quality inspect the cure. I found that once cured the tint was gone. Do you find that to be the case as well or is yours staying tinted even after cure?

Nope, I mixed them yesterday and they're cured and yellow. How long ago did you get your new batch and where'd you order from?

The only negative I have to say about G4 is it takes more time than I anticipated to cure but other than that it's great .
