I've used it. I *think* it is some kind of moisture-cure polyurethane.
It is impressively hard to get off one's fingers, I know that. I had a
bad experience at the start: I painted the inside of the "trunk" of the
bugeye with it. It wasn't rusty, in fact it was clean original factory
primer, but I reasoned so much the better. It cured, then came off *in
sheets* at the slightest provocation. I spoke to a friend who has used
it, and he confirmed that it does not adhere well on a smooth surface.
After that, I decided no short cuts, all rust got removed.
