I'm having some problems with Future reacting with some decal softening solutions. I tried to apply Tamiya Mark Fit Strong and it destroyed the future gloss layer. I don't know exactly what I did wrong. Still use it for protecting clear parts but I'm avoiding gloss coats. In my opinion the best Future replacement is Alclad Aqua Gloss. It's as easy to use as Future and you can use any decal softening solution.

THANK YOU!!!!! For researching and testing out this new replacement for Pledge. Question here, I saw a KZreadr used pledge to mix in with Vallejo Primers mixing it 50/50. He claims it makes it more adherent and faster drying time. Have you ever tried this out? If so, can this Quickshine also work?

@JonBius

Жыл бұрын

My experience with acrylic primers is that generally anything you mix with them will reduce it's "priming" effect, whether it is an attempt to make them more durable, or to thin them. If a primer isn't sturdy enough in and of itself that it would need additives, it's probably not a very good primer. You can of course try it and see what you think. But I have found primers work best as they are, with no additives. FWIW - I used Badger Stynylrez as my acrylic airbrush primer, and Vallejo Spray as my rattle can primer. I also use Tamiya and Mr. Color rattle can primer at times, and Mr. Surfacer. (That one does require thinning, but that is by design.) I hope that helps.

Thanks for this tip, Jon! I've got about half a bottle of Future, a bottle I bought almost 30 years ago, but I've been thinking of getting a backup. As you point out, even if we don't use it as a gloss coat, we can use it on our floors. I was wondering about ammonia solutions for thinning Quick Shine. I'm sorry if I missed it, but I didn't hear you mention that. I use ammonia to clean the brush I use to apply Future by hand, or to run through my airbrush (ammonia! it'll strip off the chrome! 😁) after spraying Future. If I got any drips or pooling, too, a little ammonia will dissolve it and I can with wick away the excess with a paper towel, or let it level itself again as it cures. Have you tried that with Quick Shine? And get well soon, brother! I had a bad sinus infection right after Thanksgiving, and it lasted 3 weeks. I think our immune systems are out of tune these days. YbiC Brad PS - the beard is great! Makes you look like a patriarch. "And it was in those days, that Jon did try a different gloss medium. And he shared it with his people..."

@JonBius

Жыл бұрын

I never recommend thinning Pledge/Quick Shine with anything. (It's in the video somewhere.) Whatever you use will break down the product in some way, decreasing it's usefulness. I gave up ammonia for anything in modeling years ago. IPA does a good job of cleaning the airbrush, and if something harsher is needed, I use MCLT. Trying to clean up drips and pooling can get loppy-jawed really quick. I make sure to avoid those conditions so I don't have to clean it up. Too many potential complications otherwise. I think I'm turning a corner with this sinus/respiratory thing. But I'm still not 100%. I'm ready for it to be done! I think of it less as a beard, and more as a refusal to shave anymore. 🤣

Wonder if it will yellow over time? I have a very old bottle of Future which seems to have taken on a bit of a yellow tint; I'm looking forward to trying this product. Appreciate the video...

@JonBius

I have a P-51 that I gave a coat of Future back in 2006. No yellowing on it. The stuff in the bottle does change color a bit, but in my experience the actual coat on a model is so thin that it doesn't matter. When I have had people say a model yellowed, I suspect it is due to exposure to sunlight, the underlying paint itself (white will get dingy over time) or other factors. HTH! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I will respectfully play devil's advocate on one point you made about using Pledge as a final gloss coat. I have done a final gloss on several models and it has produced some of the best high-gloss finishes I've ever seen. You just need a lot of coats. Pledge will 'dull down' after it cures, so after a mist coat, you need a medium and several wet coats. You also need to be willing to do some polishing. You CAN sand Pledge, but do not wet sand it as it will make the finish foggy. use a fine-grit sanding stick and polishing compounds.

I need to spray paint some plastic flower pots metallic to bounce sun beams around my shady garden. I was gonna use pledge to seal only to find its discontinued! Ack! So yeah, I was wondering about this or I've heard car wax too. Maybe the wax they use for chalk paint? Any recommendations?

The gloss coat may actually reduce the reflectivity on the metallic surfaces, depending on how shiny they are. You may want to test that. As to the other products, I've not tried those before, so I wouldn't know how they'd work. Perhaps mirrors, or foil? That might provide more reflectivity. Good luck in finding a solution!

I have no experience with Pldege, I tried Quick Shine, I applied it by brush, light coat, on a Gundam Universe RX 78-02 Gundam Figurint (not a model kit) that I had god for few bucks on sale and which I modofied and painted. I had the following issues: 1 it did not really self level 2 in some places it left a yelloish patina that peeled off (I must have had some pooling in those spot) 3 it acted as a solvent on some paint of unknown type that was present on the model (the welloy in particular, and red on the head) and on the metallic acrylic paint I had applied (long since dried!).

It always helps to try out a test spot or two, especially if the model/figure it not a traditional kit. Quite often the materials and paints may not be exactly the same as what you'd find in the modeling world. Yellowing usually indicates an interaction with the underlying layers in my experience. Self leveling can be a fine line to walk, especially if brush painted. Sorry you had to deal with that! Thanks for reporting this, and for watching and commenting!

Use with caution. I applied this Quick Shine on my Evergreen polystyrene clear plastic windows.

The only thing I can explain is it reacted with the Novus polish I had cleaned the clear plastic prior to the Quick Shine. So I tried it on unpolished plastic, same result. Maybe this is acceptable to some, but it looks horrible as far as I'm concerned.

Any gloss varnish - whether it's this type, or a proper modeling gloss coat, is only part of the picture when working with decals. The gloss varnish provides a nice, smooth surface for application to help reduce the chance of bubbles forming underneath, which can lead to silvering or lumps. However, there are several other factors that go into the decal process that affect the final outcome. - First, the decals themselves need to be very thin. For example, Eduard uses decals from Cartograph, which are incredibly thin and leave little in the way of edges. On the other hand, Tamiya decals, while usually of good color and overall quality, tend to be fairly thick, which can leave an edge. So the quality of the decal is an important factor. - How much of the clear decal film "sticks out" around the decals edge is also a factor. Even very thin decals may leave a visible mark where the clear decal film is. So that needs to be very carefully trimmed as closely as possible to the actual decal printing as possible to help reduce visible lines. - Making sure to work out all of the air and moisture from under the decal is critical. - The use of decal setting solutions, such as Solvaset, can help the edges of a decal "snuggle down" better, so that is important. - Overcoating the decals with gloss coats afterwards no only seals them in against later steps, but can also help hide any edges - but only to a certain extent. So while this product in the video is an important step in good, smooth decal application, it's only part of the process.

Here in Australia it's not much cheaper than the hobby products; we're talking AU$56 (postage included) for 27 oz. Can't buy it in shops here, it has to be imported. Think I'll stick with my Alclad or Mr Color GX. Pity, though. Hope you're totally recovered by now, Jon.

Yeah, if some of these non-modeling products aren't in your area, it does make more sense to use hobby-specific products. Here in the states a bottle of the stuff is about the same price as a burger meal at a fast food place. Although you may want to check around - there might be a locally sourced product that fits the bill. Thanks so much! I did recover from that episode... now it's fall again and I'm back to having a cold. Doh! :D Happy day to you friend!

Bummer about the cold, my friend! Hope you get over it soon. Shipping from the US to us is astronomically expensive, which is why this stuff costs so much here. I'll keep an eye out, anyway. Thanks for replying.

How did it perform with things like Maskol?

@JonBius

6 ай бұрын

I've not tested it with Maskol, so I'm not sure. In general, if it worked over Future/Pledge, it should work with QS. But they do have minor differences, so I'd test it. At worst, you'll have a bottle of floor wax for the next spring cleaning. :) Thanks for watching and commenting!

Can you dip parts in this stuff?

@JonBius

6 ай бұрын

I dipped clear parts, but I found it doesn't work quite as well as Pledge/Future. Make sure the clear plastic is *very* clean - that seemed to help in my tests. Definitely use a test piece first! HTH!

Watched an older pledge video and the guy buffed the coat with a dryer sheet and it got pretty glossy.

if any of yall like to do washes and paint minis with acrylics and such- I do a lot of 3d print paints- this is great for mixing in with most paints and thinning it out w.o losing color!!!

I did that when i built aircraft more than a few times. It can work very well for panel lines, etc. I do caution that if used as a thinner to only use it sparingly - too much and it becomes more like a glaze and it can be a bear to build up an opaque coat. But it is definitely a quite useful product for so many things. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Im using on police models and it leave my models foggy. Any suggestions?

@JonBius

4 ай бұрын

Generally that is due to the product being applied too thick, or in moist conditions. (Or thinning with water - I never thin that type of stuff.) Try airbrushing/brushing a small bit on a test area. Generally that will "clear it up". (No pun intended!) Why that works, I don't know, but it mostly does. (Mostly...) I hope that helps!

Do you think I can use Tamiya panel liner over it? Or better to use laquer clear coats?

@JonBius

Жыл бұрын

I'd say test it in an out of the way spot, or on a test model. Tamiya panel liner is a bit "hotter" than others, but I'd used it successfully over Pledge. A few tests should give you an idea of how well it will work. Thanks for watching and commenting!

For weathering, it depends on what you're doing. For oil washes, it's great. For other weathering, a satin surface is usually best. But experimenting and trial and error will show the way!

That doesn't surprise me about the Tamiya Panel Liners. It's extremely "hot", so much so that I no longer use it.

It might work … but Walmart offers Quick Shine at $11.57 for a half-gallon (64 ounce) bottle. A better deal, presuming you are in the US. I want to say I DID see a video on KZread that tried several different alternatives to replace “Pledge” - which I will always refer to as “Future” - and the best results were from the Quick Shine. I still have at least three full bottles of Future, but I think I may pick up a couple of gallons of Quick Shine just to be safe. A Future-drinking monster might find my stash and consume it, and who knows whether Quick Shine will stay on the market as long as Future did?

Pledge was great for thinning cheap acrylic paints for airbrushing. Has anyone tried this with Quick Shine?
