Why would it not absorb water? Epoxy is not water proof, water
resistant yes, proof, no.

You make it sound as if epoxy is some sort of grease.

I don't now how you arrive at the conclusion that epoxy is not waterproof,
but I have always lived under the impression that it is not only waterproof
but even fairly vapour-proof. Solvent-free epoxy, that is.

This quality is one of the reasons epoxy is used as an osmosis-barrier on
new polyester boats, for instance. It is also the justification of the
techniques the Gougeon brothers have been promoting for ages.
