water based epoxy

[werner]

Anyone already used this?
Not a glue but a penetrating epoxy even for wood with a high moisture content.
could this be an alternative to cpes and without the solvents?

Stuff looked a bit scary to me, as do the other water-cleanup epoxies. I'd certainly want to do quite a bit of testing before using this on a boat...

"...almost insensitive to moisture in wood or the environment."
Almost? Like in, "It almost floated"? Or, "I almost didn't have to swim"?

[werner]

in the French tech page they don't use the word "presque" (almost) , but then it could be gained instead of lost in translation.
I have read an article in a French boating magazine and it is used for wood in boats.

They publish figures for the physical and mechanical properties.
That seems to me a responsible way to market one's product.

I'd be suspicious of a product information sheet that referred to "MATT" finish! It's "Matte" finish, guys! Seems to me that "water based epoxy" is an oxymoron, no?
