Hello,

I am currently on holiday in th Philippines and found a bottle of floor wax at the local Ace Hardware store.



Is this a good one to dip the canopy in and prepare for decals?

if you have an old canopy that you dont need or a piece of clear sprue, give it a go as a test.

It could be correct since it is acrylic based.

I think acrylic is the key

No,
I do not believe that is the right one, it has wax and perfume.
These are what you are after:

most are the right one but not all that are pictured.

Cheers Rob.

Tony,

Please read this article.....it will clarify all the questions about "Future Acrylic Floor Wax".

PS The Pronto is the same product just labeled differently
in the Philippines.
