GreatModels Webstore Selling Future in Small Bottles
I knew someone was going to get the idea.
GM is selling 3 oz bottles of Future-for-Models Acrylic Wax. Here’s there description:
DIFFICULT TO FIND OUTSIDE THE US. Registered Trademark from SC Johnson. Usually dries in 20-30 minutes. For canopy shines, and replaces gloss coat for decals. Ready to airbrush. Do NOT dilute in water. Includes Badger plastic bottle 51-0054. - $3.95
Or in a 3/4 oz bottle (Badger glass bottle 50-0052)- $1.95
Future comes in 27 oz bottles that normally run between $5.00 and $7.00 (depending where you buy it) and it lasts forever.
27 ounces of the 3 oz bottles would cost over $35.00! 27 ounces of the 3/4 oz. bottles comes to over $69.00!!! This does not of course include the shipping costs.
If anybody overseas wants some Future they can just e-mail me and we can work a deal. There is a certain very tall american in Japan with a fresh bottle. I wonder how he found it???[}:)][:-^][:-^][:-^][:-^]
I wonder if the Johnson folks know their product is being rebottled and resold. Maybe they wouldn’t care. Maybe saying “Registered Trademark from SC Johnson” makes it OK…
Years ago I used a medical adhesive for prosthetic work in the film industry. Theatrical effects suppliers would sell it for something in the order of $15 for a bottle of a few ounces.
I called Dow Corning who manufactured it and they sent me a gallon free.
There’s a lot of profit to be made in putting stuff in smaller bottles…
I have heard that SC Johnson does not like the fact that we use their Product on our models! [V] They are afraid someone is going to spray it or use it on their model, ruin the model somehow and then sue them for not putting a warning label on the bottle! Ain’t victimization great! [:(!][:(!][B)]
I had seen this in another discussion board when someone posted, describing the response he got from CS Johnson when he wrote to thank them for such a great product!
