    Very interesting video. I use self cure epoxy when repairing surfboards. They work very well but are not colour stable when exposed to sunlight due to tertiary amines. This sounds like the same problem suffered by dual cure resin cements that have tertiary amines as outlined in the video.
    Chemically how similar are these two products? I am concerned as epoxies should not come in contact with skin, as they can cause sensitivity issues from frequent contact
