Default Epoxy: Finish Coat Required?

Hmm, why not just use the 207-hardener (has UV-filters in it), and/or a
lacquer with uv-filters in it?

If you want it to be coloured, like it would with a non-see-through
tape, why not just paint it?



I want to be able to check up on a suspect area underneath it without sanding
off paint/gel coat.

Actually, the alternative hardener is sounding pretty good.


I wouldn't trust a hardener to provide adequate long-term protection.
You're better off to have an opaque layer of some sort over the epoxy.
