Clear drying epoxy? (for my R2 project)

[wannab]

I need to find a CLEAR drying 2 part epoxy for my fiber optic project on my R2. All I have been able to find say they dry to varying degrees of yellow. Anyone have a lead for me?

Thanks.

I had this same problem a while back - I finally found some at Hobby Bench (Hobby Lobby in most places) on with the model airplanes section. It had NO yellowing. Hope that helps somewhat.

Thanks for the heads up, but we don't have those stores here. :cry


After cruising the googlescape, I found this (Devcon® 5 Minute Epoxy Gel) at the Ace Hardware site.

I'll give it a go. >fingers crossed<

I think that the slower drying epoxy may be more likely to be clear as the heat that is generated from the reaction to quickly cure the epoxy is what yellows it. I've used 4 different brands recently and they all yellowed. It didn't matter to me, but I did take note that they all were labelled clear and dried yellowish.

I've used Devcon and it is indeed clear.
