Re: [Phys-l] UV-curable epoxies?

You may well find that many clear epoxies are 'UV curable' whether

We found quite by accident that a thin layer of stycast coated on 
paper would be cured by the exposure given by a Xerox machine.

And my wife was quite taken aback by how fast her fiberglas+resin 
repair on her horse trailer would setup in full sunlight.
