Yes, air supplied respirator but just a tyvek suit. With high volume extraction going and using an HVLP gun the amount of acetone involved was gone pretty much instantly. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Outside, say under a carport, would probably be safe enough.

The boat is a Van de Stadt "Samoa" - 48', aluminum (topsides are unpainted like a workboat), enormous fractional rig so it goes pretty good in spite of the heavy fitout. Three good years of my life in doing this one :)
