Texallium products are particularly liable and can yellow in only 2 – 6 weeks. The epoxy resin will ‘yellow’ with prolonged exposure to UV radiation and material strength properties will slowly deteriorate. We recommend exterior products or those exposed to constant UV are either regularly treated with UV polish or screens such as Armour-all or 606 protect ant or colour painted or at least Lacquered. We use predominately 2K car lacquers of medium solids, the DBS range has been found very suitable, although people have had equally good results with Urethanes varnishes and epoxy clear coats. The surface should be sanded with 180, 240 then 320 grit and a cleaning solvent used to remove grease or dirt prior to paint application. Several coats may be required (normally 3 to 4 light coats) to avoid pin-holing, common with painting composite products. Pin holes may be dubbed in carefully with a brush, then wet flatted for a final application of 3 thin coats. Let air dry only, you may stove the paint at 70’c once fully air dried. www.reverie.ltd.uk Page 3/3
