Hi Kevin, I use water based lacquers exclusively, not polyurethane's so I can't speak about them. I have had no problems with the water base at all.;that is unless you miss the explosiveness and smell. I try to mist on the first couple of coats of WB first. I feel this gives it some tooth to build on. James Grebe R.P.T. of the P.T.G. from St. Louis, MO.
