for a few more bucks , they should be able to sell a quart of the resin and some hardener...keep the stir stick etc.

I would like to try it on a carbon paddle....but would not like squirrel and bear to think of it as food.....

: 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.
