Stocking up for the FUTURE
Posted by Wirraway on Wednesday, June 3, 2015 3:35 AM
I was talking to my LHS guy the other day about future, and how I had been hoarding my one and only bottle for the last 8 years. I was down to dipping aircraft canopies only, to try and stretch out the supply. He mentioned that the USA Manufacturer, SC Johnson, of Racine, WI. was discontinuing the brand, and that the improved replacement had some sort of citrus additive that made it less useful (useless ?) for modelling. Put me on to a website where I bought a carton of 6 x 27 fluid ounce bottles for US$68. The distributor also mentioned on their webpage that this product is now discontinued. Don't know if I have succumbed to scare-mongering or panic buying. But I think I now have enough future to see out my modelling days.

I do believe you have enough Future for the next 300 years LOL! I know how you feel as I grabbed all the Floquil Old Silver, Bright Silver and Platinum Mist bottles I could when they were discontinued.

Alclad Aqua Gloss is a great substitute and applies just as easy.

Can you apply the Alclad Aqua Gloss to clear plastic parts like canopies? In all honesty, that was one of the reasons I switched over to using Future and I would hate losing that trick.

Yes, the same way you would dip it in Future.

Amazon is still selling Future, so I'm not sure if they are really discontinuing future.
