Imron is not epoxy it is urethane. Also make sure you use protective
covering on your whole body and recommended respirator. It is a known
carcinogen. I know of painters that have died of cancer using this paint.
Excellent for painting though high gloss finish and very UV stable. Most
people now I think go with urethane clear coat for that extra deep gloss.
Also epoxy is durable but yellows after a few years. Hope this helps
those who've been painting without good gear. Aloha, Ed
