The front of our offices is so close to the sea, that with high winds, the building is covered in salt. Still everything looks relatively OK (building is from 1991). Only the lights at the entrance did not survive...

Still, using PU (or acrylic, for that matter) in continuous submerged applications is a bad idea. I have seen one of my colleagues go bankrupt on it.

Well, we did not recommend it for a submarine or passagemaker right? But I can see no reason (obviously Gonzo and you too), to go for anything more costly than the automotive stuff.
