Porous Cured Epoxy

Hello,

I'd like to find a product that results in a fairly porous cured epoxy. The objective being for the cured resin product to absorb (to some degree) liquid paraffin wax.
Is anyone aware of a resin system that ends up being (macro)porous? Or and additive that would increase porosity?

Thanks,
Pete

There are foaming additives for epoxys. However, they result in closed porosity.
