PET, ABS or other plastics won't combine with epoxy, while the woodfill acts like any wood and soaks it up and bonds superb.
Hi Henke,
Thanks for following the Eurofighter conversion build. I've seen your comment on woodfill filament before. It sounds interesting. Can you give us more details on the process.

Do you have a link for buying the woodfill PLA?
What epoxy are you using?
How are you applying or infusing the epoxy?
How do you heat it during cure?
Any photos of the process or finished tank?

Thanks,
Gary
