It strikes me odd that the first of these posts , a copy/paste is from South Africa and is very thorough. In fact I deleted a few appendeces. This one is from the USA and not quite as thorough, I feel. My conclusion is that Auto Urethane is deadly. When they say not to take your coveralls home, they say a lot. It's a wonder that I'm still alive.
