Re: [TCML] Gaps

Hi David,

Yes, I'd have to agree from your observations as well
as Adam's (yurtle turtle) that the UV likely IS the cul-
prit here. Even Bart backed off of his original statement
a bit by restating that he wasn't necessarily saying that
the UV would not cause browning of the PVC, only that
IF the temperature alone was causing it, then there ob-
viously was a serious deficiency of cooling. I had thought
that the UV was the issue in my case too but it had been
so long ago that I had forgotten many of the details and
I therefore couldn't be adamant in my position without
reasonable doubt. However, the posts that you and Adam
have sent in concerning this does seem to verify my suspicion
of UV as the main culprit of this PVC degradation.
