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

Thank You...

Although I'm still using the "old formula" Klear, you don't need to thin it at all as it has the consistency of water and when I've finished brushing it on I just rinse my brush in plain water, job done.

Cheers

Pete.

I use 'Holloway House Quick Shine Floor Polish' which you can get from Lakeland Plastics. Found it works just as good as the old Klear did, including dipping clear plastic (ie canopies). Can be brushed, but I usually airbrush it straight from the bottle without needing to thin. Bit pricey, but bottle is 800ml, which I think is more than in Klear.

G'day, Des.

You needed to get Pledge "One Go" in the opaque white bottle with the blue cap.  Although it's a yellowish colour, it works the same as Future for dipping canopies and wetting/sealing decals (but don't use Mr Mark Softener near any decals until it's completely dry- they'll wrinkle up badly and the One Go will dry in the wrinkles, setting them like stone  :o).  I've only found it at IGA, not Coles or Woolies.  A little goes a long way, too.

It's also a dust magnet, so cover the model as soon as you've brushed it on.

Are you coming up to ScaleACT this weekend? http://www.actsms.asn.au/index.php?page=scaleact-12

Cheers.

Hi Dal,

Thanks for the tips on Pledge one go, Chris has sent me a bottle of future from Canada, with a bit of luck it will get through customs so if it does I will give that a go first.

I have visitors calling in all weekend so I won't be able to make it to Canberra this weekend, I would have liked to have been there. If you are going are you taking your camera, I would love to see some photos.

   Send me your full mailing address details and I'll try to ship you a small bottle of the Canadian version. If it makes it ok I can send more later.
Nice to see you over here as well!!

G'day, Des.

The batteries are charged and I'll be able to get some good photo's before the crowds start coming in, I hope.

i seem to remember reading somewhere that this stuff was just as good as klear so when i was in home bargains the other day  and and saw it for 99p i got myself a bottle.

not tried it yet so dont know if its any good or not, it does smell nice though  :)
