Future Dipping Large Parts

Post by Ace Airspeed »

I'm starting the Moebius Chariot and I want to dip the clear top - any way of doing this without using a gallon of Future in a bucket? Perhaps airbrush it on?

Pour some in the inside part and swirl it around till covered, drain off the excess.

For the outside, get something to catch the excess in and simply pour Future over the outside until covered, let the excess drain off.

I have used a wide paintbrush before but you have to make sure its absolutely clean, I didn't clean mine well one time and when I used it the next time little dried bits of Future showed up in the finish.

Airbrush. Some people shoot it straight out of the bottle. Others thin it with rubbing alcohol. I thin it.
