Waterborne auto clearcoat

Years ago sherwin williams had a waterbase clearcoat thar was reported to be pretty good. I don't know if it is still around but you might look into it. Chris.
 
I am not going to use the waterborne product, but i found it interesting that a car manufacturer is going to switch over to it. It must be good stuff.

I tried to locate more info(i didn't look too hard yet), but i couldn't find anything. I'll look again tomorrow.

I appreciate you letting us know about this. I would love to find a water based product that would do the job.

It was probably called Water White Conversion Varnish. It stuck like everything to wood, but let go of plastics really fast. It was a great wood finish, but was fairly toxic as it was a catalyzed finish. It worked great on house cyue conversions.

If it is White Conversion Varnish, it does work wonders on tables, etc... but for cues I tried and tried, but it will not polish, and adherance is sub-par. Just my opinion, but I did work on it for a long time.

We used some clear stuff from them for custom cabinets also and It was really good stuff for that, but I can't remember If it went By that name. For some reason I'm thinking what we used had waterborne on the can, but I could be wrong. It's been quite a few years.
They make some good products though, We used their elastomeric paints almost exclusively on exteriors, and It really sealed out moisture. I was talking to a contractor the other day, and he said they still use It.

I aggree, With the clear, besides the hardness level & bond, I would be worried about sanding and polishing, because most water based I have tried on cues are not very forgiving in those areas.
