I would recommend Dupont Centari. You DO NOT need to add hardener (which contains isocyanate'). It is easy to work with and you can color sand it for a beautiful finish.
Yeah - I have a respirator somewheres but it's not the air-supplied type. This is fairly recreational and I love my lungs and various lymphnodes and all they do for me so I think I'll keep the toxicity to a minimum.
