                        I have better results brush painting Future and storing the model in an enclosed space to dry. The only problem is to make sure that it does`nt collect on lower edges.
                        Hope this helps.

                        I've had the same problem

                        I've heard of the tac rag and will give it the old college try. I guess this can be obtained at home depot in the painter's section?

                        try wiping the model down with a tack rag before you spray. It's what i do and it wroks every time.

                        try turning up the pressure on the regulator to about 50psi and blow off your desk area first... also you could get a spray bottle from Wal Mart (empty) and put some water in it and mist your desk area before spraying..

                        Each time I try to coat my pieces with Future, The end result is small fibers trapped in the future. This is my method

                        1. Paint piece and let dry for 48+ hours. (perfect coat)

                        2. Airbrush future in several thin coats at 15 psi. (fibers appear)Angry [:(!]Angry [:(!]

                        I am not thinning future and my airbrush is clean.

                        I am letting the pices dry in a sealed container.

                        Pics soon to come.
