Question from David
Hi, I want to build a fish tank out of plywood and I would coat the inside of it with an epoxy–one that is used for potable water applications. Once the tank is filled with water, the epoxy will be submerged. Will it off gas? The epoxy is advertised as being VOC-free but I understand that doesn’t mean it doesn’t off gas.
Safe to build?
Debra’s Answer
My understanding is that once epoxy cures, it is inert. Since you didn’t specify a brand name product for me to look at, the best I can tell you is that if it says it is for potable water, it should be fine.
