We haven't done this yet, but only because we don't have to. Sooner or later we will. I can think of no acoustical reason for not using either water borne polyurethane or lacquer.

From a labor standpoint, you might have to do a bit more sanding since any water borne finish material will probably raise a bit of grain. Del ---------------------------------- Kevin R.
