If the vehicle is garaged, much of the time, the dome won't yellow as quickly.</p> <p>What you'll probably find with doming material is, because it has a shelf life, it's not necessarily an over-the-counter item.</p> <p>Some manufacturers may wait until there are enough requests to warrant a batch, then send the collected orders out.</p> <p>Depending on when you order, you could be days, or weeks, away from delivery.</p> <p>Here's one of many companies:</p> <p><a href="http://www.deco-coat.com/urethane.html">http://www.deco-coat.com/urethane.html</a></p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 16 May 2006 by DGL</p> <hr /><a name="a3837_4"></a><p><b>From: Puck (PUCKERBRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.4">#4</a>]<br /> 16 May 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.3">#3</a>] 16 May 2006</p> <p>Thanks for the link. I ordered some UV samples from them so was on the wrong stuff when I was looking for the outdoor stuff. Going to go check out what they have to say on it now.</p> <p>Puck</p> <hr /><a name="a3837_5"></a><p><b>From: Puck (PUCKERBRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.5">#5</a>]<br /> 16 May 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.3">#3</a>] 16 May 2006</p> <p>Do you know a place to order the Dual Barrel Cartridges?</p> <p>Puck</p> <hr /><a name="a3837_6"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.6">#6</a>]<br /> 16 May 2006<br /><b>To: Puck (PUCKERBRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.4">#4</a>] 16 May 2006</p> Here's a 69-post thread, which may yield more information:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.engravingetc.org/forum/index.php?webtag=EE&msg=1004.1">http://www.engravingetc.org/forum/index.php?webtag=EE&msg=1004.1</a><br /> <br /> I spoke to Terry Morris, (maker of Ultradome) over the weekend and spoke to him about epoxy, suitable for outdoor use.<br /> <br /> He said humidity plays a big role in the successful application. Too much humidity will cause air bubbles.<br /> <br /> Commercially, epoxy is applied in dehumidified, dust-free rooms. <hr /><a name="a3837_7"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.7">#7</a>]<br /> 16 May 2006<br /><b>To: Puck (PUCKERBRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.5">#5</a>] 16 May 2006</p> I "think" Deco carries the two-barrel cartridges, but I'm not sure.<br /> <br /> Probably worth a call or an email.<br /> <br /> To this point, I've only used single-part UV cure epoxy, but I have an application, where I'll need to delve into a two-part mixture. <hr /><a name="a3837_8"></a><p><b>From: Puck (PUCKERBRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.8">#8</a>]<br /> 16 May 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3837.7">#7</a>] 16 May 2006</p> <p>Thanks, thought I had read that thread before but looks like I might have just skimmed it and not read all the posts.
