<DIV> Hi Mark</DIV>
<DIV> Perhaps it was just the brand we used but it came highly recomme=
nded
& not perform as advertised in any way shape or form. It was=
very difficult to use & satin rub finishes were literally impossible&nbs=
p;to
replicate the usual nitro cell satin rub. The only guy I spoke to=
at
the time using it successfully was doing all high polish & he said the s=
ame
thing I just did.</DIV>

<DIV>I like 'em, but if you have been spraying nitro lacquer for years the=

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 m=
e to
keep using them, now for 13 years or so. Aside from the shop environ=
ment
being rather friendly instead of lethal, the dry times, clarity, non-yello=

characteristics, quick and easy sandability, durability, and bottom-line c=

are all factors that keep me a user of water-based finishes. I curre=
ntly
- past 3 years or so - favor the Fuhr finishes, available from Homestead
