I got the water base stuff from an outfit called nemic http://www.nemic.net/ their out of Grand Rapids, fast service and the 8 oz bottle was only like 10 bucks.
I'm using a roller but have used a lint free rag with some of the oil based Prussian Blue pigment that I started with. will give an update on the stuff a little later so far I like it. Spreads good gives good spots and is easy to clean up with surface plate cleaner.
I don't think that I will get it so prefect that I'll be afraid to use it. heck I'm fixing to start trying to hang some stepper motors on it cause I hate cranking on handles to move the table from one extreme to the other, or those more boring repetitious facing cuts one a wide piece of flat bar.
But I do like it a hell of a lot better now then I did 6 months ago, it had so much slop in it, it was useless almost only thing it was good for was drilling holes.
