I read of modellers casually mentioning Future Klear on a regular basis. Klear under that name is impossible for me to find here in Townsville so I assume it is travelling under another name. I know the product has to be "shine" "Acrylic" and "for vinyl floors", three characteristics that I can't get to line when haunting supermarkets or Bunnings or anywhere else. Can someone give me directions to get my hands on this miraculous stuff.

Thanks. If no-one on this site can point me in the right direction then the stuff must not be available.

Thanks for the reply anyway.

Thanks. I read Swanny's article and have decided it is easier to figure out political donation rules than to try to track down this stuff. Too many name changes. Apparently here in Australia people like dull floors.
