Development of a yellow cast in aging solvent-based enamels; most noticeable in the dried films of white paints or clear varnishes.
Possible Cause
Solution
Top quality water-based paints do not tend to yellow, nor does non-yellowing varnish. Solvent-based paints, because of their curing mechanism, do tend to yellow, particularly in areas that are protected from sunlight. To prevent yellowing, use a premium water-based paint in place of solvent-based paint.
