To add onto this - always wear gloves when painting / don't get paint on your hands. Stuff is mostly toxic - even acrylic paint. Boat paint is incredibly bad for you (polyurethane 2 part for instance). Wear a mask when painting
This. I worked with polyurethane glue a couple of weeks ago. The tube says to use gloves. I thought "meh, I'll just be careful not to get it on my hands". Hello tiny itchy blisters. The fumes are an irritant too.
I spoke with a guy that has a small boat and painted boats a lot. He said he met so many people that don't use gloves, respirators, etc, and they all feel like they lost intelligence over the years and have huge respiratory issues. Getting 2 part paint on your skin builds up in the system and caused long time illnesses.
