Is the poly more flammable?

I think so. It certainly stinks about 900x worse than epoxy.

Poly is fine. Your boat was built with it. I would not mix materials though. Stick with one or the other.

Yup..poly IS more flammable..but not explosive..

Your Main concern with using poly is the MEKP ( hardener ) thats the most dangerous of anything that you will use..including the Acetone. Keep that MEKP away from flame or heat please. In fact dont even let it touch your skin.

West system epoxy is good..but Very expensive.

I agree with EZ..use poly for everything.

And again..resporator and eyewear!!!!
