Thanks. I like this method of forming because it ensures the sides are flat.

Thanks. The distended front and flatter back of the original flacket from the Mary Rose could only have been made this way, with wooden formers.

Beeswax is fine though it's better if resin is in there too.

I spent a lot of time talking to the chemist associated with the max clr epoxy resin today. His answer is their product does meet the food safe definition for cold liquids if all of the rules are followed exactly. The mixing has to be done very well, then transferred to another cup and mixed again. It will take at least two coats, less than 3 hours apart. As it is curing you need to be constantly rotating the canteen to be sure of proper consistency. You have to wait for the product to fully cure (many, many days).

So there are a lot of rules to follow and if you do it wrong it will not be food safe. But if you do it correct, you will be able to safely be able to use the product. This is an improvement from what I found a couple years ago when I was basically finding that most people were claiming food safe as long as you did not really want the answers tot he questions.

I love the flat back. I had done some research into making one but this is the first one I have seen with a flat side. Very nice!

Electrathon, is that a specific product that MAx CLR advises use on a project or there whole product line in general?
