Brushing Future

I know you can airbrush future floor polish but can you brush it on with a paint brush? I hope this is the right forum section.

I brush Future all the time(never airbrushed it yet), and their's really nothin' to it. Take the brush and apply it on. If you do a wash over it though, one coat may not be enough depending on your thinner's strength. Somtimes you may need to apply a second coat, but most of the time you can get away with one coat.

Do y'all thin future brfore brushing?

Also, is "Pledge/Future" the same as old school Future?

I never thin it and, yes, it's the same thing just with a "new" name.

I've got a seam in the canopy of my F/A 18(Revell) - Before I Future it, how fine a grit sandpaper do I go - 600? 800?

You'll need to go much finer than that.  Get yourself a good set of polishing pads from micromark.com.  The pads go all the way up to 12,000.  600 will be good to get the initial seam out, but you'll need progressively finer grits in order to really get a decent shine.

I'm looking at Micro Mark's catalog(great thing in the bathroom, better than Reader's Digest)  - the pads right? much cheaper...

! It seems my shopping list is getting bigger!

If this link works, this is the set I'm referring to
