exceeding the VOC limits and are technically breaking the law.

Do you have a name or brand of the lower solvent based (not water
based) varnish? I haven't found any.

Some 'old varnish' can still get by thanks to the quart unit
exemption in place in most places (but not in California any more).

Same sort of issue with high solvent 2 part polys (LPU coatings).

You can legally apply them to your car, but not to your grill,
mailbox, etc.

Even most waterbased coatings have some VOCs - almost impossible
to sell a floor coating in Southern California!

I have to wonder as to the total quantity of organic
vapors emitted by all of the asphalt over it's lifetime
in a place like Southern California, vs paints, lacquers
and varnishes over the same period of time.
