Are there any clear acrylic glosscoats that won't be crazed or frosted by strong decal solutions like Solvaset? I like Future floor wax, but it crazes to white. I know I can use a moist q-tip and ammonia (damp, not wet) to get the crazed area off, but sometimes it remains crazed under the decal edge. Any solution besides using a lacquer based clear coat?

Hey, Nut-
I've been using microsol/microset over a double or triple coat of Future for years, and haven't noticed any 'crazing'...How long do you let your future dry before recoating/decalling?

I let it cure for a few days. Micro set and micro sol don't affect it, I guess I will need to just use that. Solvaset is very hot stuff, its the strongets and I usually have no trouble with it on a non-acrylic base,
