Hi Gary, the water based stuff has come a long way in the last few years but it is a different approach so definitely needs practice. I was forced to give up the nitro stuff for health reasons - I react very badly to it now after all the years on guitar projects.
On the topic of availability of US flammable products, the US has progressively been introducing tougher legislation over the last few year that make it increasingly difficult for these products to be shipped outside the US - or by air within the US. More like the safety folks getting a bit too zealous than the green lobby. The products can only be imported by sea so for a local supplier the volume needs to be there to make it worth his while.
It's worse in my neck of the woods - I'm pretty much restricted to locally produced products in this category. There's a decent enough range available but I have to search them out - they're not on my local DIY store shelves!
Luckily, importing the water based stuff is not an issue.
Cheers, John
