I recently posted about spraying good old Minwax Polyurethane and got lots of great answers (Thanks!)
In the past I’ve always used MW Poly because it’s good stuff and I like the hard, waterproof finish. I’m looking at various options to replace it for finishing with my HVLP. I’m not close to any major stores save a Menards so I’m going to have to order online. My research tells me water based poly has some advantages like less mess and less nasty stuff in the air. It looks like General Finishes and Target Coatings are the two biggest brands available to hobbiests like myself. It looks like Target’s EM 8000 is designed to emulate my old favorite. GF has Enduro-Var but it’s seems to not like oil stains. So, are these my best options to replicate Polyurethane? Is there another brand? Or should I shellac then use a clear finish like was suggested in my previous post?
