<DIV>I like 'em, but if you have been spraying nitro lacquer for years there is a learning curve, alluded to rather vividly by Dale ;-).  As with ANY finish choice, there are advantages and disadvantages.  For me, the advantages of Water-based finishes outweigh the disadvantages enough for me to keep using them, now for 13 years or so.  Aside from the shop environment being rather friendly instead of lethal, the dry times, clarity, non-yellowing characteristics, quick and easy sandability, durability, and bottom-line cost are all factors that keep me a user of water-based finishes.  I currently - past 3 years or so - favor the Fuhr finishes, available from Homestead Finishing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mark Potter <BR><BR><B><I>Erwinspiano@aol.com</I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2802" name=GENERATOR><FONT id=role_document face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> <DIV> <DIV>  No recommendations here.  Just a miserable frustrating experience that almost caused my finisher to quit.
