Hey man,
I contacted SEM and talk to a man named Jim Hussey. He gave me the following address to get more information about the 3985 product you are interested in, it is:
http://www.sem.ws/tech_sheet/rab-2.pdf.

SEM does not have a product data sheet for this material, the address above gives information about application. After reviewing the MSDS and seeing the ingredients of this product you need to make sure that anywhere you use this product you have good airflow and ventilation. This is an aromatic type product that has very low flash point levels, meaning that until it cures it is flammable and the fumes it will put off will be flammable also, do not smoke while applying this product.

This paint has crushed crystalline(sand) in it that allows it to give that rough textured look, kinda like the skin on an orange. It has urethane in it which gives it the ability to have a semi or full gloss(shine), but the urethane is made of chemicals such as tolulene, methyl ethyl keytone and some aromatic hydrocarbons that simply mean you need to respect the product.

Good airflow and ventilation is for your protection. Wear some type of organic cartridge respirator, dust mask would be totally ineffective to the fumes of this product. Some people have reactions to the aromatic hydrocarbons in this type of product.

Last but not least, this is probably a decent product it just needs to be respected. Read the labels on the cans and do what they say......

that should clear up any questions....
