I have seen a lot of praise here for Future floor wax as a seal coat for decals, basecoat, etc., but can't find the product at any local grocers or hardware stores. Anyone know where in the US the product is common?

Bill, I haven't needed to buy a bottle in a long time (one bottle goes a long way for me) but the last time I noticed the stuff it was in with the cleaning supplies at any of our local grocery stores. It's marketed as floor wax.

i got mine by the lysol and windex in walmart. It should be where the cleaning stuff is. I reccomend asking someone there id it is in stock...

Also, Future isnt really a wax. It isnt really a polish. Its acrually an acrylic. Just figured i put that out there

"mop and glow" is the same stuff, and you can find that at almost any supermarket.

Bill, You can buy this stuff at every grocery store and Wal-Mart. The problem in finding it may be that I believe they changed the name on the label. It's now marketed under the "Pledge" name to go along with SC Johnson's other floor care products. Just look for "Pledge" and "acrylic floor finish".

Bill you can apply it either way right out of the bottle. I airbrush it though.

Thanks, Matt. Before you posted, I found checking Armorama's "search" function this from the Australia forum about applying Future:

Handy stuff.
