Has anybody here had success with water-borne wood finishes?

Hi Mark
  Perhaps it was just the brand we used but it came highly recommended  &  
not perform as advertised in any way shape or form.  It was  very difficult to 
use & satin rub finishes were literally impossible 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 same  thing I just did.

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.
