has anyone come across a good possibly food grade epoxy in which one could cover a sheet of plywood ?
i've built fish holding tanks and ebb and flow tables with plywood and fiberglass. regular fiberglass resin.
i've built fish holding tanks from west system epoxy and system 3 epoxy. these are brand names.
i've coated ebb and flow tables with rhino liner.
none of these applications had any issues with toxicity.
if you are just making a lid for something you could roll it out with regular fiberglass resin. use a small amount of hardener to get a slow cure and let it air dry a few days then wash it with dish detergent and a brush. don't use finishing wax.
if i knew more about your application i could narrow it down for you.

hi guys, D9 u mentioned the rhino liner being non\toxic, do u think it would b ok to use to coat like say custom built trays in a DTW setup. Im thinking of using plywood or 1X6 to hold 2 gal smartpots of coco in kinda a vertical stadium setup. been thinking of ways to waterproof and elastomeric roof coating or something like the roll on bedliner would b easy to get. thanks and didnt mean to hijack

delta im trying to waterproof a plywood bottom with 2x6 edges ,basically running med mans mfts and the polyliner always has a way ofleaking which then causes mold etc,i want toseal the bitch up......
hey, shuswap! i had a closet that was a weird size. i think it was 57" x 35". nothing stock would fit so i built an ebb and flow table from plywood, installed fittings and took it to the rhino liner place and had the guy shoot a coat on it.
bulletproof! i used it in that app for 2 years, first for the e x f and then just as a containment tray in a small vegging area. i then gave it to my daughter who was grooming dogs to get through school. she used it for a few years and sold it in a yard sale. never did leak.
the bedliner places do plywood speaker boxes all the time so they are used to shooting on to plywood.
to save money you only need to do the inside with the liner. i painted the outside and bottom of mine with acrylic enamel.
good luck, d9

Wouldn't think so. Marine hull paints used to be high in copper to keep barnacles and plants from growing. Don't know if that is the case these days, but would look into it before using in a rez type situation.
