: How would the epoxy hold up as a surface coat is more the question,
: would it look like heck in a short time, should it be cleared
: over? I don't know just fishing for info...

Another problem that would concern me with epoxy is that, if I understand it correctly, it is basically
a large polymerized block of Bisphenol A (BPA). BPA has long been a suspected endocrine disruptor
(artificial estrogen) and some recent studies have shown measurable effects of exposure to BPA
in humans. The jury has been out on this for awhile, but some significant chickens are now coming
home to roost.

It would seem especially bad to be using this in a place where exposure to food and heat is likely.
