I looked at the aqua resin as a substitute for epoxy resin. Here's the the link to their technical data sheet http://www.rosebrand.com/downloads/Aqua ... ion%29.pdf The cost for the same coverage is about 3 times per my calculations. I like the product, it would probably be OK for use as a epoxy resin substitute but for the size of the project, I can't justify it. If I were doing something a lot smaller that a trailer, I could see using it. DRAT... looked promising

Zoopoxy was the other water based epoxy someone posted and I think it wasn't too expensive from the response I got from contacting them for pricing. One of these days when I get more established, I'll build a camper doing an epoxy exterior and see how it comes out. I'm just leary because I'll have to paint it and unless oil based paint is used the finish is not good enough for a retail product and I hate dabbling with toxic non water based things. Maybe using a water based enamel might give me good enough results it remains to be found out when I eventually build one.

Just wanted to include this link for a foam coating from member
ghcoe's earlier post in the Foamie section here, to help corral/crosslink
it with other similar info in this thread:

This looks interesting.

It consists of an extruded polystyrene foam panel, with a special reinforcement material on both sides and fleece webbing. I got suckered into watching the extended video. Wish they would have identified the glue and grout(?). Thought I would post here for reference.

I came across this web site for SIPs that shows a very different
approach to them. These are meant for regular house/building
construction, of course, but I thought it interesting enough to
post here. It can be used as a source of ideas, or the method
could be adapted/emulated by the home builder - here for Foamies.
