Epoxy chip repairs - 1/25/2003 6:33:36 PM    Guest Does any one know of a clear epoxy that won' t yellow over time for filling flakes and chips on clear bottles. Every one I try yellows in a short period of time. JeffS   Post #: 1

In one of the articles Kory Berrett, (Berrett Conservation Studios), wrote, " all of the epoxies will yellow to lesser or greater extent eventually." If you are interested in a little more detail log on to http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/1998/0930.html and click on the THREAD button to review the articles from the beginning. From the Stanford site and a glass repair site, I learned that the epoxy HXTAL is a strong clear adhesive that is relatively light stable and will reduce the effect of yellowing. HXTAL is manufactured by Conservation Resources International, L.L.C., 8000-H Forbes Place, Sprinfield, VA 22151. Ph: 1-800-634-6932. Fax: 703-321-0629. CRI should be able to direct you to a vendor. Finally, another tip for reducing the yellowing effect of epoxy is to store or display epoxy repaired glass out of direct sunlight. Hope the info was of some help.
