As well, they are much more pleasant to share the same shop space with. Brushing them, however, requires a little practice and re-training. I suggest you visit Jeff Jewitt's website at www.homesteadfinishing.com to check out his product line as well as the wealth of technical information available there. I know of a couple finishers who have have good success brushing on the Oxford Hybrid Varnish (I think that's the name). It is sprayable, too, but I got the impression you are brushing? A couple of my customers have achieved surprisingly good results brushing a water-based finish from Rockler (the Woodworker's Store) made by General Finishes. I have always thought of it as a DIY kind of finish for the Sunday warrior, but good results can certainly be had. You might also check out www.aquacoatsupply.com as a quality supplier, as well as the Fuhr line of finishes (www.fuhrinternational.com?)

I have lightly sanded the keys and was going to put some clear sanding sealer on them (Parks brand). I was until I read the can's label: warnings about birth-defects, dizziness, headaches, permanent brain and nervous system damage. I didn't even open the can. Does anyone have a source for non-toxic (or less toxic) finish products?
