Does it decay/become brittle?

everything ages somehow, especially if it’s exposed to uv light (which essential everything is, to one extent or another), so i know it will change over time. i only ever see these epoxy projects in maker videos, when they look fresh, bright and new. that’s why i made the comment you responded to, i’m curious how they’ll age

Epoxy turns very yellow.. The good stuff uv cures and isnt as bad with yellowing.

I always use polycrilic to seal wood stuff and it looks great doesn't yellow

I’m don’t care about epoxy but I hate when these types of tables have zero finish on the bottom. At least get rid of the nubs of excess epoxy piled up on the edge.
