I put my decals on and wanted to seal them. Due to poor lighting,I got some pooling and such. Is there anyway to fix?

How bad is it? I would say leave it. If you simply an not live with it, you could try using 600+ grit sand paper and wet sand the areas where it is too heavy. Wet sanding will help control dust and give you a smoother finish. Future can be stripped with windex window cleaner, but if you wanted with acrylics, there is a high chance that the windex will remove your paint

Hi Marc
I know that windex (the blue one) will remove future, as will pretty much any cleaner that contains ammonia.
I have used it to remove future from clear parts, but not from anything painted. I also use windex to clean my airbrush after spraying future and it works well.
I'd also mention that I have read of windex being used to strip acrylic paints so I'd be very careful about using it.
