I figure I might as well try a wash on my Tadpole Im building and was reading up on wash techniques. Believe they used brush to apply coat of future in article on here but is it possible to thin it down and run through an airbrush or is that not advisable. Would it be better to use a brush an brush it on?

Hi A.J. You can use future straight from the bottle no need to thin,you can clean your a.b. with windex I think thats what you call it.hope this helps

NOTE: DO NOT CUT FUTURE WITH WATER! I learned this the hard way a few years ago. I spray mine with an Aztec putting on about 2-3 medium coats. Make sure there is a good base and you don't have to worry about anything breaking THAT seal!
I would also stay away from the Turpenoid Natural - it will never dry

Hi Chris,

which nozzle do you spray with and what PSI? I generally use the tan on 15 PSI but find that unless I thin it at least 70 /30 Tamiya acrilyc thinner the nozzle clogs almost immediately.

Dead easy to clean but annoying.

I've sprayed Future through my Aztek using the orange nozzle tip at about 25 PSI with no problems, works great for laying down uniform coats. Straight out of the bottle, cleanup with Windex, neat and easy.
