In Response To: Epoxy: EcoPoxy - anyone try it? (Dan Caouette (CSFW))

Hmmmm... non-toxic, and made of nuts. I wonder what it would taste like on bread with a little jelly? :)

Well I would absolutely love to see a greener solution, and especially one that's not toxic, but I have a few doubts about this product. My concern is where is their test data? Where are pics? What about UV? Vegetable-based products historically are not good when it comes to UV resistance.

I am now very careful about epoxy exposure. This stuff seems way more friendly to the lungs and skin. I would give it a try if they could prove that it has good UV resistance, will remain clear, and will perform well in stress tests. I would want to see a one-year minimum UV test like One Ocean did.

A lot of shapers are turning to bamboo fabrics and I believe you may find some posts about organic resins on Swaylocks or Grainsurf- two surfboard building forums.
