*SAFETY WARNING*

Urethane paint is great stuff as mentioned above BUT!

All urethanes contain isocyanates, which are a really nasty bad stuff. They are what is called a sentensizing allerigin. Each time you (or someone around you) gets exposed they may or may not become allergic. When allergic some nasty respiratory things, and skin things can happen.

The important thing is to use the proper safety gear when spraying. This means a full suit with supplied air. NO SKIN, NO FILTER MASK. This also means a spray booth with proper filters. If you spray outside and your neighbor gets sick where are you going to be.

Sorry to throw water on the parade but if we wish to keep our hobby we have to be responsible.
