Some of the yellowing will probably come from the day being too humid as moisture will get trapped in the resin.Either save all your resin work for a really dry day or find a really tight place with a dehumidifier to work resin in I know the smell will be worse but work fast and get out to let the resin dry fully.you might even have luck if you build a seal-able box with a small vacuum attached and let it vacuum for the first hour or so.

@onlysirdave cool good ideas thanks. I will plan to set up a vacuum rig.. never heard of that! thanks :)

Find a box top to fit over your project/painting, make sure it doesn't touch. Paint your box top black to keep your project warm if curing in the sun. This will help with debris and yellowing.

[MrSolarenergy]

thats cool whats the exact name of the epoxy you used

[davezak]

it seems to be hit or miss. I think that lots of the yellowing comes from the material you resin. I cover paintings. acrylics, oils and inks.. some yellow.. some really don't... 'environmental technologies' has some resin that claims to have UV resistance and non-yellowing additives.. but ya.. yellowing is a big deal. I have heard of UV spray seals you can apply over top to protect yellowing from the sun.. but other factors cause yellowing too. sorry, no real answer for you.

I've been using Epoxy Resin as a coating for my art for quite some time. Is there something in the Epoxy Resin you use that makes it "non Yellowing?" It's a commonly known fact that Epoxy Resin will Yellow over time. I've seen it in my own paintings. However, I use a product bought at my local hardware store.

[davezak]

bigger and better... live and learn.
