Actually, I know what it is. According to an article, it's 'Johnson's FUTURE floor polish'. This is the first time I've heard of using this product in modeling, so I have no idea how it is used. Future : thinner ratio? If I can't find it, any substitute?

Thank you!

There have been several articles regarding Future. In the US, it is an acrylic floor coating. Its clear, acrylic finish protects various vinyl or tile floors. It is used straight out of the bottle and a 1 liter bottle costs about $4 USD.

Someone figured out that it is a very good and inexpensive clear acrylic coating for models. The price of a 1 liter bottle of Future is about the same as a small bottle of Tamiya acrylic clear coat.

You should check your local stores that sell floor polish or floor wax to see if they have a comparable product.

Aight. Thanks. That clears up my queries. So I suppose I can use standard modeling gloss coat until I find this Future.
