I am currently building a skin on frame in my attached basement/garage. I would like to kill the weave and paint with anything that will not affect the health of my wife and cat. I have a respirator but do not want my family to have to wear them. (Do they make them for cats?) The half pint of marine enamel that I used to paint the frame was bad enough. I know that latex paints are not technically waterproof but was wondering if anybody has used an industrial/flexable latex coating or anything else that might be suitable for my needs. I do not mind a higher maitanence tradeoff for a less toxic working environment. I can not work outside until the spring due to the low temp in Victoria, B.C. at this time of year.

Thanks in Advance, Curtis
