Does the phrase, "... the wood is then infused with a tough epoxy ..." sound a little hand-wavey to anyone else?

"Our process uses no harmful chemicals..." except for the epoxy.

"Takes less energy and time to produce..." except for the "infusing" process.

I'm all for a new material. I love this shit to death, and can see myself trying something like this in my back yard this summer. But I'm also old enough to know when someone is talking about a "new process" it rarely pans out past the press release...
