Now i have never messed with future floor wax. I know i should try for decals. took a long time to get over the whole.. paint gloss on a tank thing.. but when i did it worked for decals (gloss first) I always get shitty at the loss of texture sometimes from some gloss such as tamiya.. this smooth section where it was brushed on..

Have to wonder about the first guy who put future on his kit eh ? prolly the night before some comp.. spilled or run out of usual gloss.. and had to improvise in a hurry.. anyone watching from side would of taken the mickey ! wonder what other miracle "improvisations" have been tested in a pinch ? failures or success....

I did try to airbrush tamiya gloss once.. and for some reason decided not to thin it ( a moment of blonde ambition im sure) it came out like fairy floss or cobwebs.. dammnest thing i ever saw. made one hell of a mess as it settled around the room.
