What is Johnsons Klear and is it available in the UK?

Feb 03, 2005 5 Replies

I have read many articles where Johnsons Klear is applied to paint finishes or to polish plastic parts (mainly from books and Fine Scale Modeller).



What is Johnsons Klear? Some sort of Polish? Does anyone know if I can buy it in the UK? Thanks in advance.


try coop asda etc. i jar will last years

It is available in the UK and despite it's name it is actually a type of clear varnish, I have read about it in many articles too and it looks good.

It's an acrylic floor shine or "polish" for use on no-wax floors (i.e. floors on which you can't/shouldn't use floor wax). In North America it's known as Future. It's popular among modelers as a clear gloss finish because it dries perfectly glossy with no brush marks, and it's very durable.

Look for it in the floor polish section of grocery stores. If you don't see anything named "Klear" or "Future", check the labels for anything that says "acrylic" and "no-wax floors".
