I am stuck on waterbase. I am eyeing OXFORD PREMIUM SPRAY LACQUER (1000 Series) water-base finish by Target Coatings. Has anyone tried it? Two features it claims attracts my interest: 100% burn in, so no "witness lines" when flat-sanding final coat and ease of flat-sanding/polishing - the big one being 100% burn-in. That is where I have had problems in the past. Anyone???????? I haven't even started yet, and the desperation & out-of-control feeling is already setting in :-(. Terry Farrell >> Terry If you don't want to refinish, why are you doing it? I used to refinish, but I didn't like doing it and I wasn't very good at it. I now subcontract all my refinishing out. If you can't find someone to do it for you, then just tell the customer you don't do refinishing. Let the customer find her/his own refinisher. I am not yelling at you. I am just asking a question, that you should be asking yourself. Be honest with yourself, and know your limitation. Willem
