    Any experience with General Finishes water-based dye stains and a water-based flat topcoat? Looks like it could all be sprayed and dry time is pretty quick. I never seem to give myself enough time...

    Well, I do have a large radial arm saw, but it's a shop decoration at the moment. It needs work and I'm not actually sure I want to keep it. I looked at the TSO product and that looks really nice...
