Thread: Hellfire starting to go yellow

    Hellfire starting to go yellow

    Just took the wax off the HF and noticed that under the wax..nice and white..but up on the nose she is starting to go a bit yellow..I think I already know the answer but..is there anything you can do to bring back the white?? I thought that problem had been overcome with the new epoxy? Thanks in advance.

    I sanded an old one down a bit and that took some of the white off. Might not be the best alternative but it got it white enough to sell.

    n Yeah, I did think about that but worry that sanding will go down through the mat which is not far under the top coat. Also wondered if the yellow is superficial or goes through the resin. Anyone know?

    Yeah it could easily be the whole way through the resin, I think it's unavoidable.
