Does anyone know how the 2 part epoxy holds up in weather?
We are making a sign with a picture underneath. Will the epoxy keep the picture from fading? If it doesn't, any other suggestions would be appreciated.

By picture, I assume that you are painting the picture with epoxy paint.
Exterior paint is UV stabilized and pigments are relatively fade resistant. You might use boat epoxy. Pettit used to make a good one.

We are using a print so it will be laserjet ink. We did find a product call ClearCoat that's supposed to be weatherproof so we're going to give that a try. Thanks for your response and we'll post an update after the project is done.

Look into automobile quality clear coats. They are some of the very few that are truly weatherproof and do not yellow with age.
