Well, I figured I'd better find out what all the rage is about,
so I bought myself a big bottle of Future. I was impressed
with what it did for my clear parts, but I haven't tried it on
anything else yet. Wanted to ask these questions first, for
which I haven't been able to find answers.
1) Does anyone use Future as a pre-primer layer? I'm thinking
that the self-leveling properties might go a long way to make
my seams even smoother, since the puttied areas sometimes
have minor pits and voids, no matter how fine of sandpaper I use.
I would also expect that it would hide shallow scratches & very
small defects in the plastic. But if it can indeed hide surface
roughness, then I would worry about the following:
2) If Future is self-leveling, then I would expect it to also reduce
the depth of recessed panel lines, thereby making them less
accepting of washes and ultimately less pronounced on the
finished product. I haven't seen any complaints about this, so
I'm guessing that I'm wrong.
Thanks for reading.
