Swanny Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 :unsure: SUCCESS!!! An Australian equivilent for Future Floor polish has been discovered. Through the efforts of myself and Peter, an Aussie modeler, we have determined that Johnson's "Pledge One Go" is an acceptable substitute for Future and is readily availible in Australia. Peter has tested this product on clear parts and painted parts, it demonstrates good self leveling properties and is compatible with acrlyic paints. This information along with retail availiblity will be included in "The Complete Future" shortly. I would like to extend a big "Thank You" to Peter for his assistance in this research. http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html http://www.SwannysModels.com ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmike Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Phil Thanks for that... :wacko: I will check out Woolies as well as Coles after the long weekend. :wacko: Whcih state are you in? I still have my old bottle of Super Stride left, plus 3/4 of the big bottle of Future I got in LA Is it clear in the bottle like Future or cloudy like Stride used to be? cheers mate and keep us Aussie modelers posted! :wacko: Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest PHILL S Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 it's got a bit of an orange tinge when against the white inside of the bottle. but when poured out it does not seem to be that orange almost clear. i think i will use it on a beat around moddle first. I'm in N.S.W where abouts are U? This stuff really stinks :wacko: Phill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmike Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Phill Perth West Oz yourself? :wacko: MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I normally use a wide flat brush and apply the Future in thin even coats, 2 coats is enought o prep a model for declas and another couple go on to seal the decals prior to weathering/final clear coat. I wil give this stuff a bash though :wacko: :wacko: MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
