Toxicity is a complicated subject.

I think it is safe to say, NO ONE recommends epoxy exposure for health. Even the manufactures suggests one limit exposure as much as possible.

I am afraid if one starts to research the ingredients in epoxy, one might never touch, or breathe, the stuff again.

I have said before, the ZERO touch nature of intelligent infusion is a great attraction. If one could do a wood boat the same way, it might be a serious option in my mind.

To be honest, the sizing on glass cloth is in the same boat. Please wear protection.
