mirotone water base clears

[old_picker]

just discovered some water base finishes at Mirotone and wondering if any one has had any experience using them.
First is Iridea - a 2 pack water base matt and satin
second is Mirotec WB single pack available in a range of gloss levels - hopefully matt as well

thanks to any one who can relate positive or otherwise anecdotes on either or both

Interesting. Whilst I use euro oil wax finishes on my furniture mostly. The finish mightn’t work well for small things like boxes, earrings, banglesthere might be some time advantages in spraying.

application is guitar finish - I have used danish oil which euro oil is similar?

I might see if I can get a sample. I’m certainly not going to take a punt on 5 litres. Coverage is a bit ordinary as well.

I'm interested too, I am about to try out some Cabothane Water Based Polyurethane to see what I can do with that.

i have used the cabothane stuff on one guitar -
no way is WB as forgiving as good old mirotone precat which is so easy to use - man o man my asthma has been so bad this winter I just have to ditch those stinky chemicals - the acrylic base auto colour is even worse than mirotone in VOC's

the cabothane worked fine it was shall we say a sealer coat on a pretty rustic finish - you cant lay on many coats - it is a pain to clean the gun and you cant leave it in the gun for days on end it just gunks up the works - I doubt it would be any use for a rubbed out high gloss but as a matt or satin ok

Arh, thanks for that, I'll save it for the Satin Finish rustic stuff.

I am keen to hear of anything else in water base that works.

Used to use Target EM6000 years ago - the third guitar I built in around 2006 owned by a mate of mine has that on it [among a few others] and it is still bright, shiny and rock hard. a real pain to rub back as witness lines were a problem - you could only dry sand it and it had to hang at least a month.

Can't get Target Coatings here in Australia - not sure they carry em6000 any more but they do have 2-3 different finishes that look as though they would be good options
I am going to chase up mirotone and see what the tech dept has to say - I am after a decent satin/matt that will keep a dry surface - the mirotone 3220 single pack low gloss finishes polish to a bright shine if you look at them too hard -way too sticky for some players
