Tthanks.
I guess that I have an aversion to water based products, especially latex.
Polycryllic seams to warp balsa, unless it is sealed. Sealing is an extra step that I prefer to avoid. The polyurethane eliminates the sealing and, to me, the odor is minimal.
I like to experiment, and find polyurethane to be fuel resistant, too. The downside is that it takes longer to dry, and, when used as a clear coat, it tends to yellow with time.
