Is polyster casting resin safe for salt water?

[jcopp]

Just wanted to know if anyone has heard anything about NOT using polyster casting resin in reef tanks. Fully cured of course. Also, if used with plastic, would the reaction release anything nasty into the water after a good rinsing?

Thanks for any and all commments!

I've used it quite often, I try to stay with FDA approved polyester resins but have also used good quality resin from boat suppliers. I don't know what you mean by "used with plastic" though.
