No, I dont work for the company but I do recommend the two part polyurethane
by Smith and Co. A buddy has had some on his boat for at least 5 years and
it is still going strong, tough, flexible and still has not yellowed (
unlike the Gaco I have seen). It seems to be well worth the money( it aint
cheap) .
