If you mean cleaning up your airbrush after spraying Future, a run through with isoprophyl alcohol should do it. Future is an acrylic.

Thanks for that - are tamiya acrylic thinners suitable for this?

I would think that you could use them with no problem, but to be honest, I have never really thinned Future before airbrushing. I use it full strength.

I'll give it a go full strength then - and use the thinners after to clean
Cheers mate

Andy,
Ammonia based window cleaner, such as Windex, would be suffice for cleaning up your air brush. I usually follow it up with another wash of water.
You may have atrial run on some spare plastic to get a feel of it.
