Sources of Ready to Spray Water-Based Finishes?

I spray Hydrocote Resisthane Plus. I get it from Highlandwoodworking.com So far I like it. You can spray it just as it is or thin it with water if you want. They also have a fisheye reducer you can get for it. When I spary it I put a cap of the fisheye reducer in per 1 qt of finish then thin it according to vicostity cup and gun settings. I like it so far for the cabinets I have done. You can also get an amber additive so it looks more like laquer based products.

They also have a pre-seal that you can spray first to elimate the grain raising. It says it deepend and enriches the color like a oil finish. I have yet to try it but I want so if any one has tried it I am interested in how it works.

I use Sherwin Williams for everything but I spray solvent lacquers. I have often thought about making a switch to a water based lacquer, but only if it offered similar positives solvent lacquer offers. I have heard a lot of good things about homestead finishes online. I have bought transtint dyes from them in the past without a problem. They do offer a water based lacquer made by ‘target coatings’. Check them out a this link:

FWW gave a very good review of the Hydrocote a year or two ago. I’ve been spraying Minwax waterbase, but plan on switching to the Hydrocote for my next project.

I’m a fan of Minwax Polycrylic. It gives a very durable finish, can be easily thinned for spraying, is readily available in various sheens, and is reasonably priced.

Take a look at Target Coatings. They offer a great line of WB products and have a very helpful forum where Jeff Weiss, company president, answers questions routinely. I am a novice sprayer (at best) and have been very happy with the results I have gotten.
