I am looking for any suggestions for spraying future with an airbrush. Thanks.
From the following web site:
http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html
"Future can be applied to your model with either a wide soft paintbrush or via an airbrush. If you choose to use the paintbrush approach be sure that your brush is clear and free of any dust particles before starting. Use slow continuous strokes to avoid causing bubbles on the finish. Once you have brushed a coat on, leave it alone and let it’s self-leveling properties take care of itself until thoroughly dry. If you are going to use an airbrush set your delivery pressure at about 15 psi and keep your range at about 6 inches. I prefer to apply Future with the airbrush most often and lay down one or two heavy, wet coats. I have also found that mixing 3 parts Future to 1 part Isopropyl Alcohol before airbrushing really seems to help the finish. Some modelers prefer to apply several light coats but I feel this can lead to a pebbly result sometimes. When using heavy coats should you have a run develop simply touch it with the corner of a piece of tissue to draw off the excess. Should you discover a run after the coat has dried simply use a cotton swab soaked in ammonia based window cleaner and gently rub the run until it has been removed – only takes a minute or two. "
| I use it all the time on my locos and rolling stock.Just spray it full strength in light even coats.It produces a glossy,hard shine that is very durable. |

Thanks a lot!! This is the exact info I was lookin’ for. I am sealing Alclad on some passenger cars and thought that Future would make a nice finish.
Since this thread somehow got bumped (not by me), I may as well post some of the results. I ended up using Floquil “bright silver”, sealed with future. After using Future as a sealer, I will never turn back. It does gum up the airbrush really quickly though.
