" Epoxy Panel exposure after:

* Two months (March 1 - May 1 2000)

The pictures have been optimized for faster download but in order to
preserve the resolution, the files are still quite large.

* Six months (March1 - September 10 2000)

* Twelve months (March1 2000 - March 2001) - this was the
objective of the test, however, things are only beginning to get
interesting, so I will keep the panel exposed and report on the
development every half year or so to see how much environmental abuse
this epoxy stuff can really take."

Preliminary Review


The results of the 'year long' epoxy test are now in. The info in the
table below describes what features I like the most and least in each
type of epoxy. "

This was kinda interesting. I just assumed that various epoxies were
cross compatible with the various brand hardeners. I used West Epoxy
with another hardener and vice versa with no problems. BTW, I use Fast
Orange cleaner to get epoxy off myself and it works well.
