lesthegringo Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 My lot of Clear has leaked into the box during my move, so something I didn't expect to have to replace has gone. But, just like the concentrated Simple Green, I am having trouble tracking the Johnsons product down. I have found some acrylic floor varnishes, but they are not the same as Clear, as they are more liquid, smell of ammonia and are milky when liquid. Again, a quick look in Bunnings, Coles and Woolworths has come up short, anyone know where it is available, and of course whether it is under a different name? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keroburner89 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 There are people that use Pascoe's long life, it's a yellow bottle sold in quite a few places. I'm yet to use it, but I believe it has that ammonia like smell that you were referring to... That's the only thing we have available these days unfortunately. 'Pledge One Go' used to be the it product but has long since disappeared from our shelves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikestomcat Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I think Sprue Brothers sells it in small bottles, you can try them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wege Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I have in front of me a bottle called Pledge One Go from Johnsons. (or as I call him... Fred) Found in the cleaning isle in Woolworths in Rockingham, WA. Admittedly that was about 4-5 years ago now... so I also got some Klear sent across from NZ... Countdown in Pukekohe also by Johnson. I think that the Pledge may be slightly glossier.. ,but.. I have not compared really.. :)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Pascoe's Long Life is pretty good, especially for dipping canopies. Haven't tried airbrushing it though. Also, I can't compare it against Clear/Future since I've never used Clear/Future before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It airbrushes ok, but I find it goes on better with a brush. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lesthegringo Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I've just been to the Victorian Hobby Centre to ask if they know of anywhere that sells it, and there answer was 'no, but....'and they proceeded to show me Humbrol Clear gloss varnish, which the reckon is Humbrol's version of Future / Clear. It isn't cheap at AUS$15 a 125ml bottle, but I bought some to try. Not sure if it will turn out to be as good as Future, only time will tell, but I'll let you know the results Les Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It airbrushes ok, but I find it goes on better with a brush. OK. I still prefer Tamiya/Gunze gloss clear for spraying gloss coat prior to decaling and/or weathering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
