Boy this thread is getting a bit nasty. Calm down guys!

One more point I want to make that might help cool things down a bit.....

Sorry, I am a nasty guy and I don't like being slandered by some punk
kid.

I vaguely recall seeing water absorption numbers for epoxy at something
like 1/10 of a percent. Don't ask me where or how I got that number,
just something that is floating adrift in my head.

And that was my simple point. Even in a lab epoxy is not "waterproof",
I know it sounds picky with the numbers you stated, but who uses epoxy
in lab conditions anyway. And certainly in the use the Origional
Poster has in mind it won't be water proof, in fact it may prove
detremental by holding aquired moisture (through cracks and osmosis)
in. Even if he went to the expence of using the water tank rated stuff
you base your numbers on, and certainly not if he uses off the shelf
maring epoxy...


cheers everyone

Cheers to you too, but the guy owes me an apology.
