As a beginner into spraying (but long time woodworker) I am going to order some WB topcoats to start trying them.
As in Canada (and in Alberta in particular) there aren't many dealers/sources I found an online dealer of Target coatings and General finishes.
I have narrowed down my list into the following 6:
Target coating:
- EM2000 Alkyd Varnish (http://www.woodessence.com/EM2000-Alkyd-Varnish-P56C22.aspx)
- EM6000 Production Lacquer (http://www.woodessence.com/EM6000-Production-Lacquer-P55C22.aspx)
- EM9000 SuperClear PolyUrethane (http://www.woodessence.com/EM9000-SuperClear-PolyUrethane-P57C22.aspx)
General finishes:
- Enduro Clear Poly (http://www.woodessence.com/Enduro-Clear-Poly-P213C61.aspx)
- Enduro Pre-Cat Urethane (http://www.woodessence.com/Enduro-Pre-Cat-Urethane-P190C61.aspx)
- EnduroVar Urethane Varnish (http://www.woodessence.com/EnduroVar-Urethane-Varnish-P193C61.aspx)
I have heard only some generic statements such as:
EM2000 and EM9000 are more durable than EM6000,
Enduro Clear Poly and EM6000 are "water clear" whereas Em2000 and Enduro Pre-Cat have an amber tone.
EnduroVar is the toughest of all and has the strongest amber tone
But beyond these I don't know anything. Since these are not cheap to order to try, is there anything else you can add that I could use to help my selection?
What I am going to use them on are:
- furniture, right now a bed out of cherry.
- Later on for kitchen cabinets (probably out of cherry again).
thanks
