AB pressure setting for Future top coat

Do you spray the Future straight, or do you thin it with something?  I haven't used my AB for future, as I've only "painted" it on with brushes.

I am airbrushing my first aircraft model. I've used Tamiya flat acrylic paint and am wondering what the AB pressure should be set on to spray the Future top coat.

It depends on the AB. General rule of thumb:

15-20 psi for gravity feed AB.

25-30 psi for siphon feed AB.

Try it on a piece of paper with various pressure until you get a fine even misty coat. Don't use heavy coat, it runs.

For smaller parts such as canopy, dipping is perferred.
