They are right on the health issues. Be safe with it and it will work out for you, I use Du Pont Hot Hues and also Du Pont 7900 clear now as its a lot thinner and easy'er. Mark D, Jones and a few other talk on this issue seems like about once a month and please talk to them. Mark help me out two years ago as I was trying to go from 1:1 cars to scale with it and the paint jobs now look a lot better because of his help.

Now for getting rid of the stuff? I wash it out right after using it with thinner and put it in a coffie can till its full and take it to where they take oil and such for $2 they dump it out for me.

For shooting it: I use a Paashe VL double action and shoot it at 12 psi with no thinning needed. Never thin nothing that I do as if you take your time you will not need to thin it.

For buffing and sanding, Up till this last build I did for the GSL no I never did but I was turn on to a new product to help buffing and sanding and you will be able to get the kit in the hobbie at scale dreams with in the week. It's a two part step and there is no more final wax used as its in the product with the cutter.

Also if every one thinks that Urethane clear only gives you the high gloss look you can get a duller additive for 8oz for $15, In Du Pont its a 4:1 mix with clear or 25% for semi gloss look or 50% to full flat look. This really kills the shine on it but then it leaves you with the nice harden clear that will not scratch or get damage.

PLEASE LISTEN TO NOVADOSE71!!!!!!!!!! I have painted 1:1 cars and have used them all

PLEASE LISTEN TO NOVADOSE71 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also have painted and still painting 1:1 cars and have used them all PPG,Sikkins,Sherman Williams,Standox and Spies just to name a few. Novadose is telling the truth, MASK UP!!! I do not care how small the amount ,it is dangerous. And just do not use any mask.You have to spend some money and protect your lungs.I have 2 friend that are dead because of not masking up. MASK UP PEOPLE !!!!Urethanes are the best. They do not shrink,go dull,easy to rub and dry fast. Sherman Williams has a urethane clear that dries to the touch in 5 minutes and you can rub the car out in 35 min at only seventy degrees. i love this stuff but it comes with a price.Very expensive.But if you want a shine ,look out! PLEASE BE SAFE GUYS and GALS
