Quest for eternally clear epoxy!!

Hello, fellow tyers!!

Personally, i like to tie my streamers using epoxy.
Nearly all the critters i tied in the last few years turned yellow in the epoxy-coating some day.
I tried a lot different brands ... some had this effect a bit earlier, some a time later. But all turned yellowish some time.
Some years ago i went to some flyfairs occasionally. Several times i was delighted to view Ruben Greonendijk, and mostly he was tying saltwater flies using epoxy.
Those flies which i purchase right from his tying desk remained clear until today ... and sadly i don't remeber the brand of epoxy he utilized.

So my question for help is, if anybody knows a brand of epoxy which doesn't turn yellow some day, i would be delighted if he could help me with a hint.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
