: I coated a boat last week with a water-based polyurea. Nice stuff
: to work with, water-clear once it dries, very high gloss (not to
: everyone's liking), fast drying (was able to get 6 coats on in
: one day, could have done more but 6 seemed like plenty). The
: solids content is very low compared to solvent-based coatings,
: but it built a film quickly. I haven't paddled the boat yet so I
: don't know how well it will hold up in use. So far it seems very
: tough, and I'll know more this weekend when I take the boat out
: for a test drive.

Please let me know how it works out! And also, what was it?
