I just put the 2 ton on a white plug yesterday and it looks good so far...no yellowing.

I've used the 30 minute, 2 ton devcon on a number of plugs that have seen a lot of sunlight. Have not seen them yellow yet, though not all of the epoxy is left on some of the plugs

Devcon 2 Ton epoxy will yellow if not mixed completely. As was explained to me, "give it a good mix and let it relax for a minute or two." It will be fine! I have some of my first plugs here with no signs of yellowing.
Good Luck!

I used it it tightens up pretty quick u can only mix like one plug at a time.It makes a very hard finish.No problems with ambering..My hardener from my Sys.3 clear coat got ambery an now it makes yellow plugs so i tried it an I was pretty happy with it.Kinda expensive when u get like 2 onces for 4 dollars an A pint an 1/2 of clear coat goes for 18.i think.

Hobby Lobby carries a 30 minute epoxy kit... 2 four oz. bottles are $8.99. I have plugs that were top coated with the Hob-Lob kit 5 months ago and have not yellowed yet.
