oh yeah, I forgot to mention, some prefer 4 parts Future to one part flat for the flat coat... I just remembered a few here commenting on it... some found a bit of haze with the 3:1 ratio...

The ratios for mixing it are right here on Swanny's website... it's about halfway down the page.  As far as brushing it should do ok since you can brush future and it will self level, you should try it on a scrap model or plastic before you do it on a real model , although it should work...  I thin mine with Tamiya acrylic thinner so if you need to thin that would work for ya...

Semi-gloss Future!!!
Posted by Yann Solo on Monday, March 20, 2006 11:36 AM

I have a bottle of Future and I ordered a bottle of X-21 flat base from Tamiya.  Will it be possible to mix it with Future to obtain a semi-flat or semi-gloss finish and will it be brushable. I don't want to use an airbrush.

Or maybe I need to buy a semi-gloss spray can from Testor?
