I'm planning on trying Future + Tamiya flat base for my clear flat but, this being my first attempt at this, I have two questions:

1) How much flat base to Future is correct?
2) Do I need to thin the mix or just shoot it straight?

Hi Rob,

My mix is 2 parts X-21 Flat Base to 3 parts Future.
Shoot it straight, no thinning.
Dead flat, no frosting.
