Future?

Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Painting and airbrushing

Hi all,

Could someone please tell me what Future is?

I have seen it refered to all over the place but we don’t have anything by that name here in Australia. I’m assuming it’s some type of polish from what I can gather. What do you guys use it for in modelling and how do you apply it ? Does anybody know what the equivilant is called in Australia.

THanks for your help.

I think you should be for Johnson’s Kleer (or Klear). It’s an acrylic floor wax used for lino floors - it’s fantastic for clearcoating models and dipping canopies.
Have a look at the Future FAQ for more info.

AJ Thomas,
The correct name is Johnson’s Klear - it should be available at Coles or Bi-Lo.
Apparently it’s either Future in a different bottle, or it’s a very similar product and behaves just like Future.

I’ve been looking for Future in my area (Central Florida). The only thing I can find is a product known as Pledge with Future. SC Johnson Wax 11182, 27 OZ, Pledge With Future Shine, Long Lasting Shine, Tough Acrylic Protection, For No Wax & Regular Floors.

Is this the same thing as what we are talking about here?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

It is indeed the same thing. Future was re-branded (in the US) about 18 months or so ago and is now “Pledge With Future Shine”

I heard on the grape vine that after about six or seven years future begins to yellow (and perhaps peel or something, but I’m not sure.)
