Hello kawan2 sekalian

Is the product 'Future' available in Malaysia ? If you read those mags from US (FSM) or UK (MM), you'll always see that they would use the product 'Future' to seal the models or to remove minor blemishes from canopies. The product 'Future' itself is actually a acrylic floor polish. I suppose the acrylic would harden once on the model and thus it is suitable for the above application.
I have had gone to Ace Hardware at MegaMall but couldnt find the product 'Future',but I did see another product that says 'Acrylic floor sealant' . I wonder if it is the same thing ?
Anybody using 'Future' here? or is it something not really worth buying ? Currently i seal my models with Gunze Top Coat and polish/remove blemishes with Tamiya's wonderful sandpapers and polish.

Hi Lim,

You can get Future from ACE Hardware in the IKANO outlet.

Lim, go easy with the coats. It can be nasty if applied too thick.

Hi See Liang
I use Future. Target J is right. Get it there. Be careful not to let it harden inside your a/b. Even after a thorough flush it jammed my Badger 150 solid!!!
had to drill the handle casing to get a grip so's to unscrew it. The inside treads had to be pried loose with pliers and a vise ! My a/b now bear scars of a vet ! . Dismantle and soak a/b after use and Future will serve you well. I use it for everything the magazines says it can do....and more....

Regards
Patrick
