I don't think so.  It has some powerful fumes but they go away after it dries.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Nope.  They have a chemical smell.  I spray it outside with the wind blowing the fumes away.

Well regardless of the smell the bottom line is how it wears over time.How easy it is to fix a scratch or two.Whether it yellows over time too.That's a poly then for sure though.I'm sure it seals things up good.

VHT wheel finish at autozone is good too.

I have tried alot of spraying and got orange peel, over and over .
VHT went on and I could not believe how it looks, you can't tell anything is on the bow.
I would rather fail trying to do something above my means, Than to succeed at something beneath my means.

Max, I think the VHT and the dupli-color are the same thing just with a different label.  They are both made in the same city and have pretty much identical labels besides the logo.  I've mixed the two on one bow and couldn't tell a difference.
