In 2004 I decided to specialise in water-based paint for woodwork.
Since then, paint technology has greatly advanced and for the most part I can offer the same level of finish and durability as you might expect from oil paint – without the smell, VOC content, toxins and long drying times!
This is an example of Dulux Eco Sure gloss.
I also recommend Mythic and Sikkens Satura BL water based finishes.
