: Actually they have a pretty in-depth composites report (stress,
: strain, temp etc). It's more than I've seen from other major

: You're right. Nothing for UV but that's not a non-starter. I
: generally use MAS which isn't exactly great from a UV standpoint
: per One Ocean's test. Covered with varnish it ranks among the
: best. I wonder how this stuff would perform.

: Not a very transparent layup though! ;) I have given then idea a
: lot of thought. Non-petro epoxy and finishes look possible. The
: devil is the fiberglass. Though not oil derived, it's incredibly
: energy intensive to produce. Clear and strong though...

: Food for thought (so to speak)...
