Actually all two-part urethanes and most one-part urethanes contain
isocyanates which are very bad for you. The lack of odor of some of these
urethanes is because of the high solids content - i e the more solids the
less solvent content (VOC). Naturally, low VOC coatings are a big plus
but to limit your exposure you should try not to get any on your skin and
have lots of ventilation and/or a respirator. I believe the stuff Corey
uses is nearly 100% solids, hence the lack of fumes. Very durable stuff
too.
