Seeing more and more new water-based finishes, and reading some of the comments here about the fact that you can't get many of the previously available oil-based finishes in CA (I guess some of them having been reformulated), I wonder...
What is the future of these oil-based finishes for the rest of us?
Will other states follow CA and start clamping down on them?
And is CA banning these because of the environment, or safety (inhalation) concerns, or both?
Has anyone found water-based wiping "poly" that looks like oil-based? The oil-based products I've used impart a soft yellow/amber color, whereas water based products don't change the color much.
Please no political comments about regulation or anything, only information about the future of oil based finishes and water-based alternatives.
