Thinning Future

I don't think surface tension is the problem. It's more likely that your air pressure is too high, causing the Future to dry as soon as it hits the model.

I find it's much easier to apply Future with a brush. I use an artist's brush with a half-inch wide chisel tip. You won't get runs or drips if you don't have too much Future on the brush.

He could also be too far away from the surface.

I spray at 200 grams (about 2.8 PSI) from about 10-15 cm (4-6") I'll give the brush method a try tonight! I'll also try a wider nozzle and spraying from closer by. Will post my findings tomorrow.

Thanks for replying.

How exactly do you get so precise and low a reading? I just recently bought a

Both methods were entirely satisfactory. Not sure if it's because I already had a first layer of future on the model. That's something I intend to find out when working on the next model.

The dial on my compressor has a scale ranging from 0-5 kg/cm² Between each kg/cm² there are 4 marks. I have my regulator set to the lowest mark, i.e. 200 gr.

Cool, sounds like you did what i did and looked for a regulator and gauge that would allow such fine adjustments.

Trying to adjust down to 12 psi on a 0-125 psi scale was kind of a crap shoot. Was never sure where it really was.
