:The system three was so, how can I
: describe it, no fumes?

There seemed to be a very noticable odor using SystemIII Clear coat when I did my hull. Bad or not I will still use my respirator. Wife did complain of not feeling well the next day as the fumes were definately in the house after. Don't know if it was coincidence or not. The fill coats with the regular resin did not produce anywhere near the odor though. I used to work with UV clear coats that were like epoxy. If you get sensitized, it's all over ever working with it again. Just because a product says it's not bad now doesn't mean it's not later. I am guilty of not using safety measures for handling things in the past (cleaners,solvents, etc.) but now I try to be a cautious as possible.
