I nade a mistake. The product I linked to is not a hazard to the marine environment. When I wrote that, I was looking at a MSDS for Childers Chil Seal CP-50A MV2, a slightly different product. I suspect that either one would do just fine for a canoe.
There is some confusion here.
Childers makes two products that seem similar:
CHILDERS CP-50A MV1, a/k/a CHIL-SEAL® CP-50A MV1 Coating
and
CHILDERS CP-50A HV2, a/k/a CHIL-SEAL® CP-50A HV2 Coating
I cannot find a Childers Chil seal CP-50A MV2
The link in the post above is for an MSDS that seems to be out of date.
Both CP-50A MV1 and CP-50A HV2 have similar warnings about uses in an aquatic environment. CP-50A HV2 seems somewhat more hazardous;
both direct safety measures while using/applying.
