Dan, I finally had a chance to read through your findings -- quite interesting. Thanks for putting the effort into doing it and for posting the link.

I'm really not crazy about using solvent based urethanes (for the reasons that you mention) and since I don't have access to a body shop, I'll stick with the System 3 WR-LPU as I've had good experiences with it in the past and it's pretty safe to work with.

As for the bottom of future boats, I'm considering using the white Graphite that you tested -- it sounds like great stuff for the hull. What's the graphite like to apply?

Thanks,

Dan
