: I bit the bullet two weeks ago and decided to try some of that
: peanut and bean-based EcoPoxy. I hope the epoxy is better than
: their public relations...
: http://www.ecopoxysystems.com/index.html
: It's lab results look very promising and I've heard some good
: things about the epoxy. Anyway, since I'd be using the clear
: hardener, which is a 2:1 mixture, I ordered one gallon of resin
: and two quarts for trial on a solo canoe I'm building as a
: retirement present for my father-in-law. I also bought a 9oz
: "kit" of a fast set epoxy they had. Figured it would
: good for quick repairs and bonding hardware. They're based in
: RI. I have other suppliers in RI (like Jamestown Distributors)
: and UPS usually has it me in 24 hours. EcoPoxy is a small
: company so I figured it might take an extra day. A week passed
: and nothing. So I e-mailed the company. John Marino mailed me
: back the next day with a one sentence reply saying the order was
: delivered and included the UPS tracking code. I clicked on it:
: it WAS delivered.... To Rhode Island!?!?! More
: correspondence.... Days pass and I finally get in touch with
: John. He said the package was damaged en route so they brought
: it back. He reshipped it early this week.
: UPS dropped off the box yesterday after TWO WEEKS from my initial
: order (Ok. Technically 13 days). They even messed up the order!
: They forgot one quart of clear hardener entirely and the fast
: set "kit" consisted of only resin!! There wasn't even
: a packing slip. Here's the real kicker... the order was packed
: in STYROFOAM PACKING PEANUTS!! Not the biodegradable ones...
: good, olde fashion styrofoam. How's that for a "green"
: company?
: I'm simply baffled...
I think I'll stick with the regular old epoxy .
