Can "future" be brushed on?

Or should it be sprayed.  It seems awfully thin, will it require thining if airbrushed?

I have had decent results brushing it on.  use a wide soft brush and let it flow on and it self levels.

Follow Wing_nut's advice, it works quite well.

I've never thinned it for airbrushing, works great out of the bottle.

So long folks!

I am one of the odd men out that do thin my future.. for me it levels better and dries slower if I use Tamiya acrylic thinner to thin it (about 3:1 future to thinner)  I tended to get a little sandpaper type coat with it spraying unthinnned, which I know was the way I was spraying, but thinning it ended that for me...

I find good results by thinning with a couple of drops of windex in the AB cup.

also - I found that if I spray a coat of pure windex over the still tacky future, I can get a real smooth finish.
