Water based thread finish?

I have been trying to find a finish I can use with a class of 30 students and have been experimenting with Gudebrod 840. The stuff is easy to use and looks great when it's applied properly. In the short run it appears to be plenty tough and is very flexible. Has anyone had any long term experience with it or any other water based finish. I can't believe that with todays technology and the concern with VOC's that there isn't something in th works.

There are several things in the works. Stay tuned.

The Gudebrod 840 is good stuff and will hold up for many years. Obviously it takes many coats to build much depth, but it should be excellent for your rod building students and will serve them well for many seasons.
