: Interesting stuff.....got to dig deep to buy enough to actually
: test it. 2 oz is a pathetic sample to play with.

: be nice to get a quart or two to test (gal is starting to add up to
: some money for just a look see)curious if the beasties will eat
: the end product once it cures....

I was pretty psyched when I happened upon it. It looks really promising. I've been looking for a "greener" epoxy for a while. I knew companies were working on non-petroleum-based epoxies but I hadn't seen any that were available commercially. I'm hesitant about trying something new on a commissioned boat and I don't have time to build myself a new one with it (oh, I'd like to!). I'm tempted to buy the sample of the laminating resin: 4 oz of resin and 1oz hardener for $20. The clear and colored coatings might work well a finish coat as well. Sounds like I have to contact them.

According to their testimonial page, it looks like two canoe companies are using it: Björn Canoes, Sweden and Hellman Canoes.
