Jim, I knew that, and am very careful to use the proper wording for it. In my post above, I said it was a water-based cleanup, not a cleanup of a water-based product, and technically, it is correct to call a water-based cleanup as such.
I know what you mean though, the terms water-based and water-borne are used intechangably - even Flexner calls them water-based.
Which reminds me . . . Flexner also says that ANY finish can be thinned - and he made no exception for water-borne finishes.
On another note, Flexner also goes on a rant against air quality enforcement agencies such as the SCAQMD, which happens to have the strictest VOC rules in the country (wouldn't you know I live in this district). He goes on to say that all the painting of homes, finishing of furniture and painting of buildings, bridges, etc, amounts to less than 1% of all VOC discharged into the atmosphere, and that these agencies should basically focus on more important areas of air pollution rather than hampering our abilitiy to put a good finish on a fine piece of furniture. I couldn't agree with him more. Just imagine how much VOC and particulate pollution is cause by lawnmowers and leafblowers, let alone automobile emissions . . .
