Usually when they put "marine" on the label the price automatically gets jacked up 50%. :-(
Two part poly/urethane paint is great stuff, but it is also very toxic. Isocyanates are usually used as a catalyst. You need to be very careful with that stuff. I have used it, and it works great, but it is a health risk if you don't use the right gear including good gloves, keep the paint off your skin, and a charcoal cartridge mask at a minimum if you spray it. Painters that use Poly/urethane paint regularly, use supplied air systems with full body suits so they avoid the fumes entirely and keep it off their skin.
