Water-based finishes and oil-based finishes both have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Here are some differences between the two:

Water-based finishes:

  • Dry faster than oil-based finishes
  • Have lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them more environmentally friendly
  • Provide a more even and natural-looking finish
  • Can be recoated in as little as 2 hours
  • Are generally easier to clean up

Oil-based finishes:

  • Take longer to dry than water-based finishes
  • Have a stronger odor due to the presence of VOCs
  • Can yellow or amber over time
  • Are more difficult to clean up
  • Applies a more Rich Golden Coat

Ultimately, the choice between a water-based finish and an oil-based finish will depend on your personal preferences and the specific needs of your project.
