If you do decide to end up using a product like Imron, invest in a good quaility breathing gear, preferably a force fed fresh air supply or at the very least a quality respirator fitted with organic vapour cartridges and change them regularly.  Imron contains isocyanate, very nasty stuff, cumulative build up in your body and you can become sensitised to it.
