need to learn about spraying poly

[Nick - p]

i'm getting on fine with cellulose folks but I think I need to get friendly with poly finishes. where do I start ?. i'm not even familiar with mixing ratios etc !.

I use Brite-Tone, which is a water based poly type cross-linking lacquer from what I can tell.  It's designed to shoot right out of the can.  I use analyne dyes to tint.  It takes a few days to cross-link, so coats burn in to each other if you re-coat same or next day, but after that you need to scuff sand.  Very forgiving and easy to work with for me.
