I recently looked at a glider that had been refinished by Dave Nelson in 2001/2002. It has been in it's trailer, and hangar for the last 2 years and not flown. It is located in Texas. In the dim hangar lights, the finish seemed a very faint yellow. Could of been all the dust... It was glass smooth, with no cracks or crazing, but when I used a flashlight, in the dim light, it "seemed" slightly yellow. I live in AZ, and have been told that once I moved it to a hot dry climate, it would "perk" up and whiten up.. Any further thoughts on this?

Thanks

My gliding club owns an LS6 that was acquired after 10+(!) years of indoors storage (inside trailer). Initially it was very yellow in color. I have no background in chemistry, but I like to think there might be a chance that the original coat of solid wax was what had discolored. Now, two years later, it looks quite nice and the white color has brightened. Machine polishing sure does help.
