Future is a water-soluble acrylic floor coating that was developed by SC Johnson and Co. in Racine, Wisconsin for linoleum flooring. It is not necessary to thin this product prior to use. It can be applied directly from the bottle by either paintbrush or airbrush (15 to 20 psi), clean up with an ammonia-based window cleaner like Windex.On clear parts, Future is a good protecting agent, including giving a good hedge against the 'chlorosis' white spray effect that cyanoacrylate glues can cause on windows and such. Some modelers are using Future as an adhesive for photo etched and brass parts or even to attach canopies. The bond is somewhat tenuous and I think Ill stick (little pun there) to super glue myself. Future can be used for making mud puddles or standing water when doing a diorama. It's not as thick as epoxy, but it's easier to work with. And, it doesn't take nearly as long to dry as resin type clear mediums. Pastel powders can also be mixed with it to create grime, mud, yuck, or whatever.Future also makes a great barrier coat between styrene and lacquer-based paint that would otherwise attack the plastic. Some modelers use it as a primer coat before applying lacquer based paints such as Alclad. Thanks to swannys models for the description.

Amy, according to the fine folks at hobbytalk, Future is now called Pledge floor wax. Thanks to this site I can now order it! They don't have this here!

Hard to find and great for Polymer clay

This is one of the few things that works to polish polymer clay items, and it is getting increasingly harder to find in regular stores. They sell gloss coats in hobby stores, but they don't rub into the clay as smoothly, and tend to damage the finish. I use polymer clay to create details for models that are not always included in the packaging, like the coordinating spare helmet for motorcycle models or rotting carcass for the T-Rex model, and the Future gives the objects a great sheen and removes fingerprint/tool marks. I never thought to use it to make grime and water, but I will have to give that a try on my next model.
