Epoxy: wood based vs. petroleum based epoxy

Hi Folks,

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on wood derived epoxies? I first learned about this yesterday while looking at the http://www.rotdoctor.com .

Their site says "Featuring wood based epoxy resins that are designed to penetrate wood, resist and repair rot in all boat and home applications.

Our epoxy products are formulated from resins derived from wood. They bond better, are tougher and more flexible than standard petroleum-based epoxy resins. You might as well buy the best."

I like the idea of more flexible...
