General Finishes Water-based Wood Turners Finish with an airbrush spray application, has a video and everything. I saw it in an email from Highland Woodworking here:

and it looked pretty promising. I'm gonna get a small container as soon as I find it locally. I have several air brushes ranging from a $300 to one from Harbor Frt. that was $5 and it works well. The video said the recoat time was, I think, around 5 minutes. Just thinking, no odor, no accelerator, no fingers stuck in my nose. It is designed for use on bottle stoppers, salad bowls and other woodturnings. It can be applied with brush, rag or sprayed and it dries in minutes for re-coating. It does leave an amber colored finish so it won't be appropriate for some materials we use. May not hold up as well either but I'm thinking it's worth a shot. I'll let you all know if I find it locally and can give it a try.
