Models for AM CVn discs are usually constructed under the assumption of a steady state. Nevertheless, many of these systems have unstable discs. We have constructed models for the spectral evolution of such discs using a disc instability code (Cannizzo 1984) and detailed calculations of the vertical disc structure assuming hydrostatic equilibrium following El-Khoury and Wickramasinghe (2000).
