Years ago our family lived in a house in the suburbs. I did my woodworking in the basement, including sprayed finishes. I used polyurethane exclusively. Once I built a canopy cradle for our firstborn. I laid the polyurethane on so thick that years later somebody parked it next to a heater outlet in the house that the finish blistered. Sawdust getting dragged through the house and fumes coming up from the basement were a couple of reasons why we moved to the country.
Now, years later I am getting back into woodworking. The woodshop is now located on the second floor of an old carriage house next to the main house here here. Because of the age of the carriage house I will never be able to keep the dust down. So, I would like to get away from sprayed urethane and try spraying fast drying clear lacquers.
I haven't been able to keep up with the latest advances in finishes. I am, however, really concerned about water spotting problems that I have read about when using lacquer finishes for tabletops and so forth. Can anybody recommend a fast drying, state-of-the-art, lacquer that has either a minimal, or no water spotting problems?
Thank you in advance for the help.
