fishnart Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hey fellas, I think this has been discussed but I couldn't find anything when I did a search. Does anyone know what causes a bait to turn a pinkish color after a while? I personally think it might be the lacquer thinner I ve used to thin epoxy with as it I think I've seen this to be a pink color sometimes???

BobP Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I've had it happen a couple of times but never use lacquer thinner to thin epoxy so don't think that causes it. I thought it might be a byproduct of the epoxy yellowing over time, but don't really know. I do think you're playing with fire thinning epoxy with lacquer thinner. Over the years, I tried it as a thinner a few times and got uneven curing results, which never happens with denatured alcohol. I think that's because there is no standard formula for "lacquer thinner". It may be a mix of various solvents.
