Future Question
Posted by Griffin on Friday, August 31, 2012 2:06 PM

Hi all,

I am ready to lay down some decals on my 1:72 Spitfire. I want to give the model a shot of Future first to give a gloss surface to decal.

I want to try out my new Badger 105 so I need to do some practicing first. What's a good starting pressure to try for future? Should I use the medium/general tip, needle, etc.?

Where do I start?

Thanks - Griffin

I have a badger 150, so not sure how it differs from yours. I find the medium needle fine for all except the most detailed spraying. I use about 15psi for spraying future.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I would advise against using Future.  I get best results with Testor's GlossCote.

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

I'm curious why that is?  I've read so many times about modellers using and suggesting future.
