One of the things I should have mentioned is that Target products have nearly no smell during application or thereafter. Applied with an HVLP setup it is pretty benign. That is not the case with nitro.
For me, it is a case of "manning up" to figure out how to do non-nitro finishes. Now, there are many finishes from which to choose and, now that buyers/players don't demand that the only acceptable finish is a mirror gloss lacquer, a variety of application methods. Unless one is planning on high-volume finishing or running a finish repair business, I'd look to more benign finishes and methods.

so... in your opinion.. what are the best options for a good gloss if one doesn't set up an HVLP area?
it is quite confusing for a noob like myself to know what is good and what is a waste of time and money. Seems everyone has favorites, which makes sense. One thing I have learned strait away is that there are a LOT of ways to do things, and everyone has their favorite.
I do plan on making more guitars, but I DON'T plan on any sort of volume, id quickly run out of room in my man cave haha.
I have considered a brush on option also, but I like the idea of spraying because it seems i would be able to get much thinner coats on.
