The effect on my boat is, that the epoxy is turning to milky.
I coated it with theree layers PU paint, which is UV stable BUT not UV filltrating.

Next winter I have to make my boat naked again :(

Best regards

: I believe UV exposure will cause microscopic fissures in the epoxy coating, thus allowing water to penetrate.

: : Epoxy is not UV resistant... But what is really the effect on epoxy being exposed to UV over time?
