No worries Mac - not sure where they come from. I know McT use the good stuff. I was just having a laugh at yr expense there and giving CMC a pat on the back at the same time! Also I might just have a new Firewire in my car that will be christened shortly Yeooooowww. I love the technology and design ideas / principles that some of the board makers are now adopting. I think its bodes well for the future. Bring it on.

I've seen plenty over the years and my thought is that some foam might react to various resins.."oxidising" them to yellow..for example I surf an 11 year old Brett Munro mal and it's been in a bag/garage when not used, not white sprayed. ..and it's hardly yellowed..older tech but standing up over time..go figure

some one or two of the factories offshore in greater Asia are way more advanced than anything some manufacturers in this country Mac - using much better good products and techniques - just saying ... but there are also several manufacturing facilities using inferior quality products and resins, and lowly skilled crafts persons...

Well said Simondo,and I'll add some local manufactures use inferior products,have a real good look at your blanks,glass and finish.I can spot it a mile away.

I'll start bagging the crap out of local guys,how ****** uncool is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's funny but I never even notice those thumb thingies until someone comments on them on a thread.
Don't notice them, don't use them but some people on here sure do get upset about them.
I'll just keep happily posting with my fingers (or thumb) stuck in my ears.
Since it's the internet I keep in mind that when someone says something nasty to me/about what I've written that it's still just the internet.
They wouldn't be too likely to say it to my face so I try to let it wash away.
Btw a great technique to avoid the yellowing of epoxy boards is simply to sell them before they go yellow.
