Model Master Acryl Trouble

I know Testors recommends only light coats of Acryl Flat Clear.  Too heavy of coat will result in frosting- been there, done that.  I don't know of anyway to fix it.  Maybe you can try some gloss coat over it.  I actually stopped using Acryl Flat Clear for this reason.  I'm currently using Tamiya's Clear with Flat Base added.  What was your base paint?  Any chance of stripping the Clear?

I was going to suggest that (no, really!) but didn't know if it would play nice with the MM clear. I've salvaged hazy Future coats like that.

Congratulations on pulling it off!

I've had the same problem happen to me, what would the mix ratio be for the Future/Tamiya flat base be? TIA

Here's Swanny's ratio chart from his Complete Future article:

Future does produce a glossy finish so many modelers will introduce a flattening material or only use it as a pre-decal sealer. If you wish to use flattened Future as a final coat here are a couple of suggested ratios of Tamiya flat base for different effects:       1 part flat base to 3 parts Future = very flat       1 part flat base to 10 parts Future = flat       1 part flat base to 15 parts Future = satin       If you get too much of anybody's flat base on the surface of your model you run the risk of making it all go white. No thinning is required just make sure it is well mixed.
