Urethane, more properly called Polyurethane, is a solid. If cut, sawed or ground into particles small enough to inhale, the effects are likely to be irritation and sneezing or coughing to clear the material from the throat and nose. If the polyurethane was improperly made and contains unreacted residue of one of its components, an isocyanate, then other effects may be experienced. These are primarilly sensitization, so that Asthma and related conditions develope upon subsequent exposure to extremely small concentrations of isocyanate.

Only if the urethane paint is not waterbased... Urethane Paint cannot be mixed with anything except other Urethane products. Urethane Paints do not work on the same principals as "oil based" paints. Oil Based Paints rely on evaporation to dry. Urethane cures. by chemical reaction.
Damage to property and smoke inhalation are the main problems
