Hi All,
In my previous post I mentioned I was building a white rear grip for spinning rod. I am using a E-Glass Sleeve over foam core. I am going to tint the epoxy white to get a white grip. Question If you tint the expoxy white will it prevent it from yellowing? Has anyone done this? Experience? If you use Perma Gloss as a final coat does this prevent the epoxy under from yellowing? I am very concerned the grips will yellow very quickly. Thank You, Chris Tulk Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/29/2017 10:48PM by Chris Tulk. Re: E-Glass rear grip

The epoxy is going to amber/yellow, regardless of anything you do.

Thanks for confirming Tom.
So even if final coat is PG? Re: E-Glass rear grip

UV passes through PG without interaction, so it does not yellow. Whatever is under the PG, such as thread or epoxy, is thus exposed to UV and will fade or yellow. Re: E-Glass rear grip

Sounds like I will have to put up with yellowing over time then. Hopefully tinting the epoxy white will help with this a bit. Thank You, Chris Tulk Re: E-Glass rear grip

I think tinting the PermaGloss white would cure the yellowing. Re: E-Glass rear grip

Very difficult to make PG opaque.

Tint, yes. Color, no. It's a very subtle look.
