Believe it or not the waterbased stuff is weather resistant. Now days even Bohning sells waterbased stains and paints on their website. Of course as with oil based the product should be dry before coating over it.
Only issue I have with waterbased paints is they do not "pop" like the Bohning Laq.

Yeah, I can believe that, Tom.
However, I'm trying to sell myself on the 'house-friendly' idea so I don't get into deep weeds with Her Royal Highness on the smell issue.

So your trying get her high? What's the difference between that and the fingernail polish remover?
Note: I do not recommend you asking her that!

No...I'm trying to avoid getting clocked with a 12 inch skillet.
