I haven't

the website says it should be ok as its coated with an environmentally friendly resin - my question would be why is it coated? Is it sharp? Does it alter the water chemistry? How durable is the coating?

Personally i wouldn't go near it
Lou: Every young man's fantasy is to have a three-way.
Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!
