Brush cleaning....
Posted by MrDave on Wednesday, March 21, 2018 4:26 PM

1. Now that I have a decent Future gloss coat handbrushed, does hot water and soap clean the brush?

2. What brand of dull coat or matte do you all suggest after the decaling is completed?  I intend to handbrush that as well.

Thanks again!!

Thanks.
In Him
Mr. Dave

I'm far from experienced but if it's something I don't like much or care about, I'll use some cheap off the shelf rattlecan topcoat to finish. Just enough to seal in paint and details.

If it's something I like I'll use future or future with some tamiya flat base in it.

If I want to display it, I buy some nicer hobby-specific topcoat.

Ammonia makes quick work of eradicating all traces of Future from brush bristles (and everything else). You can use Windex (or any ammonia-based glass cleaner)

I never heard of adding a flat base to Future.

My go-to clearcoat is Rustoleum brand clearcoat in rattlecan. Just spray in 2 or 3 light coats.

Oh yeah - stay away for all Krylon brand paints. They're garbage.

I just tried it on a whim. It removes some of the gloss. Also on Krylon, I give a lot of what I make away to people who don't care how it looks so using whatever's cheapest and will keep the various paints and pigments on will do.
