- Eric, Hydrocoat makes a line of water based finishing products, from
- stains to fillers to top coats. I would suggest that you call a
- Hydrocoat distributor to get their catalog. The company I use
- is J.M. Rogers in Kerrville Texas 800-828-6327 and talk to Joe
- Rogers. He may put you on to someone in your geographic area.
-
- I have found Joe to be an extremely helpful and knowledgable
- source of information on Hydrocoat product (even though I
- only buy a couple of gallons a year)
-
- Hope this helps - Steve
