… and as for future u mention, to be honest i have no idea where to find it since i have hear alot of positive thing abt that floor polish and i have been looking and looking at hardware store such as home depot, walmart.
In late 2007, in the US, Future was rebranded as “Pledge with Future Shine ”. This may be why you are having trouble finding it.
Basically, what it comes down to is that Future is simply a low cost alternative to Hobby branded clear gloss coats.
I forgot to mention this:
Dullcote is lacquer (as is Testor’s Glosscote), and Future obviously is not. Being acrylic, means it’s water soluable and a heck of a lot easier to work with.
This should be rephrased as such: if you don’t want your decals to look like poop, they must be applied to a gloss surface.
This is especially important when using setting solutions such as Micro Set/Sol. Although it may appear smooth, a “flat” surface is in fact covered with microscopic pits - these pits trap air between the surface and the decal, resulting in silvering of the decal.
When you apply a setting solution, you may notice that the decal will appear to shrivel and then will settle onto the surface as it dries. A gloss surface offers less resistance to the decal as it settles. A “flat” painted surface may cause drag, resulting in the decal “hanging up” and drying before it’s fully settled onto the surface, causing wrinkled decals.
Apply the Dullcote at the end of the job, but while applying decals, you need a gloss surface,
