Epoxy/activator separation

That was just for the black epoxy. If memory is correct the black is the only color that has the UV additives in it. Lots of people are just leaving frames in the black epoxy. The UV is supposed to help prevent chalking so common in black primers that are not topcoated.

At one time that was the case but, I am pretty sure Barry has added UV protection to all colors now.

The separation is normal when inducing, usually, and depending on the color, it will start separating in 2 to 6 hours, and yes, it is still inducing.

The epoxy does not require inducing, but it does make it more child proof if your conditions are not perfect.

Now, if the epoxy is going to be exposed to the sun, then you must induce for 4 hours minimum to take full advantage of the UV protection.
