Does Future work well in an airbrush? It seems almost too thick.


the airbrush acrylic clearcoats are terrible for rockets , but you can use any clear or flat you want to
I've used everything from Future to common spray clears to automotive urethanes(and everything in between)

Future is actually very runny , don't thin it ,spray it strait from the bottle.
spray in several >light<coats it takes quite a few coats to get a glasslike surface.

you can mix some acrylic color(tiny amount)in it to make a candy coat over a silver or gold basecoat. very cool effect
