                        I have been using Future as a gloss finish and a coating for decals. Been using it for years. Now i read here that there are better gloss varnishes than future. I use mostly Acrylic paint on my models. What would be a good gloss to use.

                        I had forgot about this one, but Tamiya X-22 clear with some Mr Hobby Leveling thinner is a must have for clears. It goes on amazing and looks really good. You can't go wrong there.

                        The best gloss I have used is Ak Gauzy Shine Enhancer. The stuff is bulletproof, levels out like glass and dries within a few minutes. I shot it on my F84 to protect the high shine Alclad from lifting when removing masking. Love it.
