: IIRC: a photograph in one of Nick Shade's books of a boat wrapped
: in black plastic trashbags and placed in the sun. Not only does
: the black plastic convert more of the sunlight into heat, but it
: provides UV protection and insulation.

Not much of a problem with the UV protection, takes considerable time for it to damage the epoxy, months not hours.
