Water based lacquer Vs Nitrocellulose lacquer

[Light]

You should try it its a whole lot of fun.

I'd rather be riding my bike, though lately I've spent more time sucking solder fumes for fun and bankruptcy! (Hobby stuff, not work, though of course building guitars is a better use of my time too, but I can only work so many 20 hour days in a row, you know?)

Show us a picture of your booth VP.

It doesn't "melt" into previous coats. Thats one of the biggest headaches when using it because any subsequent witness lines are worse than on any other finish I've seen. It's widely known for this.

They claim it does melt in, even for repairs.

If you are serious about waterborne, get Dan's book. Even as an experienced finish guy, I learned some interesting stuff from his book, and while I've never had cause to bother with Waterborne Lacquer, I still found his sections on using it interesting and educational. If they are as good as the sections on Nitro, it is sure to be useful.

To the stubborn naysayers.

It is just your opinion about the credibility of my experiences, findings, and opinions.
