Guess I have to get over my fear of brushing large areas. I just remember my old Testors pla and Humbrol brush painting results....

Steve you'll find that Klear, being like water, settles very well.

Cheers

Steve,
 Just make sure you don't overload the brush.
Dip, wick away the excess and then brush in even strokes.  Brush it on and leave it alone. Don't go back over it until dry to the touch or you risk leaving brush marks.

Thanks Pete & Lord Buckles. I assume you use the widest flat brush you can without over kill?

Those are beautiful brushes Bob. I don't have anything that nice Paddy, but I find the dirt cheap Tamiya #5 Flat Brush does a really good job with Future too.



Cheers,

Chris

I've taken to using Hobbycrafts cheap brushes, not the really rough ones but for well under a tenner you can get some reasonable ones that last a while.

Not such a swearing session when you pick a brush up and realise you never cleaned it yesterday.

FWIW I had to remove the entire external paint job on my Pfalz this weekend due to a cack handed application of future with my new wide flat brush.

The gloss coating of the 2nd spray job was subsequently airbrushed. I then tried to brush future on the wings as they'll be lozenge and cocked that up too, but as it is lozenge it doesn't matter. I believe i've lost the ability to brush Future.

Soooo the new formula FUTURE is still O.K. to use during the finishing procedures Correct??

What is the mixing Ratio for Future to Isopropyl Alcohol ??? and do i need to use 90% Alcohol??

Thank You...

    CGN,
No you haven't lost the ability the ability to brush on future my friend. I suppect the problem may be applying too thick of a coat of future. Being self leveling any excess tends to pool usally on the trailing edge. Try light coats with plenty of drying time between the coats. Alway's works for me,I don't even remember the last time I sprayed future anymore.

   Dean,
I'm still working off an old bottle of Future for about 5 years now,so I can't help with th first part of your question. As to your second question I never thin my future. I've learned over the years that Future pools much too easily when thinned.

   Pardon the pun but "back to the Future" is still a popular topic. I use the new Canadian Market product "Pledge with Future Shine' and by airbrush. ($5 at Walmart will get you enuff for a lifetime of modelling) Thinned with 1/3 Isopropyl Alcohol and 2-3 thin coats with min. 6 hours drying between. I do let it dry at least 48 hours before decalling. I recall spending literally days searching through all the on-line info before trying it after the original product was discontinued. The one and only problem it presented was when thinned with water, took forever to dry. Since changing to the Iso for thinning it's been a pleasure to use.
  I believe there was a very informative article (list of product names for the different Country's) on Hyperscale or maybe Swanny's however that was some time back. If you search it on Aeroscale I'm sure there are numerous links in the various articles. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
