Before I read I wasn't supposed to spray oil based poly, I sprayed
many quarts of Minwax poly. Never had any real problems unless I
opened the fluid nozzle to big and tried to carry to wet of a coat.
Runs, but that's not the fault of the poly, but the operator.

I have sprayed both and can't tell much difference in the final results. I
do find that water based is a lot easier to work with and seems to be a
little more tolerant of thinning. Clean up is a lot easier with the water
base and the cost of the waterbase is off set by the lack of special
solvents for clean up and thinning.

I have had no problems spraying OB poly. The one concern is the longer dry
time allowing for more things to fall on the surface and get stuck in the
finish. Cheers, JG

It's messy (the overspray--sticky), but other than that, poly sprays
fine. Having said that, I mostly spray waterbornes.
