Most of us men have seen how the walls next to urinals in public and
workplace restrooms get "altered" by the effects of urinal usage and
flushing.

The wall of my new shower stall is very close to the toilet and with 3
"boys" living in the house, I expect some splashing to occur. Will a
coat of Polyurethane over the paint protect the wall from the damaging
effects of this most basic of bodily functions?

I have considered a sheet of plexiglass as a solution, but I'm trying to
be a tad less obvious. All suggestions welcome.

I tried to Polyurethane a painted laundry room shelf, w/ the same protection
idea in mind. It took for ever to cure, and it yellowed the paint quite a
bit.
Hope this helps

My buddy at work called his boys "the gang who couldn't shoot straight"
and finally went for tile.

Many Polyurethane coatings are resistant to Ureic Acid(Not sure if I spelled
that correctly). Make sure that whatever coating you use is resistant to
it. Epoxy coatings are usually used in applications requiring acid
resistance.
