clear gloss/floor polish

[BBdave]

having read lots on the klear floor Polish I decided to experiment with some floor Polish we use at work it's acrylic and smells just like the varnish I already use. I tried it on some clear plastic and it dries crystal clear so I'm now trying it on a test model painted with vallejio acrylics and so far it's had no detrimental effect to the paint I'll next try applying it over decals, so fingers crossed that I have found a very cheap alternative . Is there any other test I should do ?

One test you could do is bring a job lot home with you, bottle it and sell it to us at mates rates!


On a serious note, you could see how well it polishes up and whether it rubs away etc?

And cheapness is the point. Some ascribe all sorts of magical properties to Future/Klear but it too is just a cheap alternative to branded model varnishes. It sounds like you've found another one.


The only thing I can think to look out for is if your new varnish blooms or whitens when decal softeners are used. If it does make sure another application of the varnish cures the problem.


Cheers

I for one would be happy to buy some, seeing as i can nly find Klear or Future on Ebay!


Seems impossible for me to find elsewhere!

[Guest]

Dave . See you come from Paignton. Love Dartmouth,Paignton and that area have always wanted to go on the railway. Times have never suited.


Have you been on the trip and what is it like ? Have done the Dartmouth Totnes river trip which is top notch.


Paignton sea front is real English with the huts and typical sea front activities.

Eh?? Future is stocked by Tesco & Sainsbury - there must be one near you!

[Guest]

Hey patrick, i have been round my tesco but none there,


Ill look online as they may have it at bigger tesco,

[Guest]

Just looked at teaco online, looked in floor cleaners, polish but nothing.


Future doesnt bring anything up, nor Klear nor johnsons. Hence why i struggle to get it!

Fingers crossed! Although I've relegated Future to just canopy dipping - Humbrol Clear is my preferred gloss these days.


But I do so miss the old Klear! What's even more heartbreaking is that 4 years ago I bought a box of 12 bottles for £5 & lost them in a house move


They'd be worth a fortune now!
