Hello, I know some of you have mentioned that you use "Enduro". I'm curious as to which one? There's Urethane, Poly, or Lacquer in the Enduro product line. Is there anyone who carries in smaller quantities?

I also see that General Finishes make a couple of other options in the "retail" side of their line. They're called;
EF PolyAcrylic Water Base Top Coat

EF High Performance Polyurethane Water Based Top Coat

Has anyone used either of these?

Here's my situation. I'm not looking to finish pens. I'm working on some turnings with dyed and colored pieces so I want as "clear" a finish as possible. I'm trying to find a finish that will not yellow with age or stink me out of the shop. If it could be sprayed or wiped on, that's an added bonus.

Any suggestions?

I have used the Poly based Enduro from Ernie. I really like it, just one complaint, it takes much longer that CA to apply.

One thing I do like over CA, it doesn't darken the wood and leaves it looking more natural. Even when you get a high gloss.
