The Yellow side(epoxy) is low vapor. The Clear side(curing agent) has a strong vapor, nothing over the top because the health NFPA rating is 2 vs the epoxy that is one.

I estimate that if you used more of the yellow than the clear it would have less vapor thus less ability to fog or discolor the plastic cover. But it would take longer to dry. If you can allow about 2 hours with the windows open for it to cure fully, you should be good. Especially since it is a 5 minute epoxy.

actually the exact tube i purchased wasnt on the website so i chose the closest one. i purchased the "1 Minute General Purpose Epoxy." so, taking what you said in consideration, i should be perfectly fine and absent of any cloudiness that should occur from the vapors that are released from the chemical breakdown?

should be, because the reduced amount of the curing agent used when mixing and more time to ventilate the small amount of vapors that are present will prevent the chance for it to cloud. Epoxy sets up so fast anyway.

Most epoxy will not cause hazing. It will turn yellow from time to time. If you want to use epoxy loctite makes or sells a brand called hysol it is totaly clear and will say that on the pack. I use this brand on the canopy of my model jets because it will not yellow. If you want to use ca glue or cyano acrolate you need an oderless which you can find at most hobby shops we know it as foam safe use pacer brand it is one of the best.
