Has anyone used this product? Do you get the same results as using Future? Saw a bottle of it at the IPMS National and it seemed expensive. Tryinf to decide if I need to get it. Thanks.

RP - Yes, I've used it, saw no difference from other products like Micro Scale. Less $$$$, works well.

I have used the gloss in place of Future,satin probably isn't as glossy as Future.It was okay for me.I have since switched to Alclad Aqua Gloss acrylic,very good stuff,easy to use.

I have this product. It works well as a final coat to dull up the surface of certain aircraft without loosing ALL the luster. I dont recommend using it for a top coat for decaling, as the satin surface will not adhere decals as well as a glossy surface you get from using future or another high gloss finish. Otherwise, its a decent enough product for using for finishing. 

Hope this helps.

Also, you can typically buy it at Hobby Lobby, if you have one of those around you, and use the 40% off online coupon for it... cost you like 2 bucks plus tax.
