Respectfully , and technically, the new coatings are water borne (not based) ,using water as the solvent, but with a base resin thats still potentially non porous. Its the resin itself, not the solvent, which influences the durabilty, sheen level, degree of porosity, etc.David Redszus wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 11:26 am Be aware that many automotive finishes are now water based and are quite porous and do seal very well.
