Its thin enough to spray straight out of the bottle, but you can thin it with plain old tap water if you so desire. Test it a time or two on an old model or some spru till you are comfortable with applying it. Try to keep the coats light, as if it is applied heavilly, it will try to fill in panel lines. Clean up your air brush right away in warm dish soap water. You can also apply it with a brush if you like, theres little danger of brush strokes since Future fills small voids anyhow.

Clair

P.S. I have also herd of other modellers adding talcom powder to Future as a dull coat. It sounds reasonable, but I havent gotten up the nerve to try it yet. If anyone does do this, or tries, let us know how it comes out.
