Another epoxy myth?

Starting this spring I have been building some Greenland paddles. After I coat them with epoxy, I use the remaining epoxy and coat my garden tool handles. They have been baking in the summer sun every day and there's no clouding.

I have never seen this clouding that I hear about and worry about when I try out a new un-varnished boat. Has anyone experienced this? I've been using Raka epoxy (this time). Maby this whole clouding issue is a big myth. I have never experienced it. I use epoxy alone on the Greenland paddles and the epoxy never clouds and some of them are three years old.
