I am using nitrocellulose. Thanks for the input, rhett. I spoke today with someone that refinishes furniture. He thought I was crazy for using a brush and encouraged me to buy a sprayer. I am sure an HVLP would be quicker than what I am doing now.
If I were to go HVLP, any thoughts? I know Rockler has a line of sprayers, HF has the less expensive ones, and Woodcraft (when they open, hopefully soon). I won't be doing a lot of spraying so I don't think I need a $250 sprayer.
