    No, it’s literally filled with plastic, regular ass ball cancer plastic. They’re using the same method Nile red does. Just using the processed cellulose as a scaffold for epoxy. DNSE and MMA for optical wood, PEG and MMA for thermal wood.

      Ignore my dumbass that ignored the fact that the epoxy is, of course, just another plastic. You’re completely right!
