Water based satin paint for woodwork

[WillyNelson]

Any recommendations for good brands. I thought the Wickes stuff was water based, sure I've used it before, but all their white satin topcoats are solvent based. Going to be painting a lot so could do without the fumes in the house.

Johnstone’s Trade Acrylic Satin, is what I have been using in the past, never had any problems with, recoatable in 4 hours.

Has been ok so far, needs 2-3 coats though.

Yup, that's the stuff! That's what we use, the oil based is harder wearing, but the fact you can blast it on and it'll hardly smell makes it great to use.

Water based is crap and difficult to get a good finish. We still use oil based on our new apartments.

Thanks guys, I'll hunt some out.

In honesty, I'd happily compromise on finish for drying time and lack of solvent fumes.
