Non-yellowing clear coat?

[hiroo]

I originally started out planning to epoxy my garage floor with H&C ShieldCrete and H&C SHIELD-CRETE CLEAR GLAZE based on the recommendation from a friend. For my 3-car garage ~570 sq ft, this would have cost in the $3xx range.

But since my floor has possible water vapor intrusion, I decided to go with Legacy Industrial's AQUADIKE® MOISTURE VAPOR BARRIER primer and their LEGACY HD GARAGE SYSTEM KIT. This already doubled the cost and is really already past the limit of how much I'm willing to spend on this already. I've purchased these components already but have not yet applied it.

I was going to stick with the H&C clear glaze over the Legacy epoxy but am now concerned about yellowing and UV resistance of the H&C clear coat. Their data sheet does not mention anything about UV resistance.

Questions:
1) does anybody know if the H&C clear glaze is decent in quality and UV-resistance (won't get yellow quickly)?

2) can anybody suggest an alternative product that is reasonably priced, UV-stable and usable in California? In an ideal world, I'd go with the Legacy Industrial HD6xxx products but that would triple the cost I budgeted going into this thing! I'm also really pushing out my move-in schedule due to this project so something available locally (e.g. Home Depot, Lowes, or local supply house) or quickly-shippable would really help too.

Thanks in advance.

Our Ultraglaze Clear Coat would work fine with that epoxy. It's an excellent one part economy priced topcoat for virtually any surface.

Thanks!

Keep in mind, if applying a clear polyurethane over a clear epoxy, the epoxy will still eventually amber if exposed to excessive UV.

I don't think he has purchased any clear yet and it looks like nothing has been put down so he should be ok with the right top coat. Having just read it again I am realizing he did not use H&C he used Legacy.

OP: Scotty has a UV resistant clear top coat. For warranty reasons and simplicity I would give him a call and get all your products from one place.
