Sorry for the corniness
But i went to handy man shop at lido shaw towers but can't find no future leh , no klear also . I asked the lady , she gave me a kind of weird look as though I am speaking an alien language.
anyone bought it recently from the same place? or know an alternvative place in singapore to get it?
woo hoo thanks for the heads up T-1000.
Either it's a different lady or my 2 trips down , reminds her that there is such a product . If you manage to get it , please post it in the forum k. I am in need of it
.
Max was so kind to give me some of his future. Not easy to use, but the results are worth it.
A bit OT, pardon me

"It is not necessary to thin this product prior to use. It can be applied directly from the bottle by either paintbrush or airbrush (15 to 20 psi), clean up with an ammonia-based window cleaner like Windex or if you are in the U.K., Windolene. It is non-toxic and non-reactive. If using the Tamiya Flat Base you may not want to use Windex for clean up as it can react with the Tamiya product and cause gumming in an airbrush. Because Future is a true Acrylic coating washes that are oil or Turpenal based will not affect it as they would lacquer or enamel based coatings.
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."

The Complete Future
so far there were a few bubbles after it dried, is it because I pull it out too fast after I dipped it into the solution?

SLOWLY slide the piece in and SLOWLY slide the piece out to prevent bubbles and use a rolled up tissue to LIGHTLY dab at the corners of the piece to drain the excess.
Tilt one corner of the piece down so the excess pools at one corner only.
I have read that it may be better and more easy to use if it is thinned with Tamiya's Acrylic thiinner at a 1:1 ratio.. not sure till I get it..
And since it is acrylic, after gloss coating it, no more lacquer based paint can be used. So after gloss coat, wash, decal, looks like the only way is to add future(klear) with flat base to make a custom flat coat..
Well....., since future is so expensive , other alternative methods are more appealing than to gloss, coat, flat coat etc. But for clear parts. I can't find a better method. It really greatly improves the clear parts.

For very tiny decals, i use cotton bud to gently soak out the liquid and push out the bubbles if any...
For larger decals i use a soft brush...
If got bubbles, to fix, take needle, poke a super tiny hole, apply decal softener.
eh?
What has bubbles on the canopy got to do with bubbles in the decals?I am confused. It's 2 seperate thing.
