what are the effects of uv rays?

Question:
what are the effects of uv rays on epoxy and wood? if the epoxy i'm using is not uv-ray protected, what could happen?


Answer:
From The Epoxy Book from System 3:

"After about six months of exposure to intense sunlight they [epoxy resins] begin to decay. Additional exposure will induce chalking and eventually the epoxy will disintegrate, losing its mechanical properties."

A couple coats of good varnish will help prevent all that...
