I like the waterbourne finishes for my infrequent refinishing jobs. I've used both the clear and black, applying them with a foam brush. They build up quite well and wet sand nicely (though you have to keep picking the build-up off the paper). I applied the black over an old laquer finish, and it adhered well. I also refinished half a sun-bleached grand rim with the waterbourne finish, and I couldn't tell it from the other half, which was sprayed with nitrocellulose lacquer. I used the "High Performance" brand available from Woodcraft. Philip Jamison West Chester, PA
