I want to use a water-borne spray finish because of my confined shop. I've been brushing for years and recently purchased a HVLP gun. I make furniture and small boxes and want a good all around finish.
I've been looking at Target Coatings (
I would appreciate any suggestions from those of you using water-borne spray products.
You won't go wrong with Target's products. I've been using their lacquers and poly's for about 3 years and couldnt be happier.
Haven't used the varnish, but if shelf life is a problem you can buy in smaller quantities. I generally buy in gallons and it hasnt been any trouble at all.
Waterborne finishes have come a long way in the last 15 years, as witnessed by the finish on those shiney new cars you see on the road. For woodworkers, Target is in the forefront of the research and are continually improving their products, and developing new ones to make our lives easier.
As with anything new there's a learning curve, but put in the time and in the end you'll be very glad you did.
I have been using several water bourne finishes from Fuhr. I am very pleased with them overall. I like to use their exterior rated products.

I read the other replies. seems we are all using something different. I use Enduro water bornes. They work great for me. One of the big WW mags put them ahead of all the other reviewed finishes, but I forget which mag and issue. It's been over a year. I use their "extra" stuff like the Crosslinker and Conditioner. Crosslinker for durability for horizontal surfaces and conditioner for flow out.

I've applied waterborne by brush and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the finish looked.
Does anyone have experience spraying it? Not airless, a conventional air gun.
