Waterborne finishes spray on pretty well, after all...

Dec 06, 2003 7 Replies

Today was my first try at spraying waterborne poly. More specifically; Enduro sealer, followed by Enduro semi-gloss. The big improvement that I was looking for over poly is the quick drying time and I was NOT disappointed! The stuff goes on fine even on a humid day, as long as it's over 60. I sprayed around 65 - 68 degrees, with a touch of flow-out conditioner to play it safe. If the finish holds up well, I might use this on many more projects to avoid the toxic and flammable stuff! I also have the catalyst that is supposed to make the surface 5



- 7 times harder than without, but I'll save that for tops. Anyone had any experience with the catalyst?

don't thin the waterbased Enduro! just a "touch" of flow-out. tip is .041. works like a frickin' CHARM! Love it! You don't want to thin the Enduro and you shouldn't need to. oh, #9 cap. I also have a .061 for latex. thinking about the .036 for lac but not sure if I want to blow up the house! :)
