Future as a printed decal sealer?

Post by novahobbies »

Has anyone tried using Future as a sealer for inkjet-printed decals prior to application? I don't really like using aerosol "acrylic" sprays, since they don't lay down all that great.

IIRC, someone on here (I believe either Millenium Falsehood or Lone Wolf) said that this is what he always uses. I've never used it myself.

One day I was walking and I found this big log. Then I rolled the log over and underneath was a tiny little stick. And I was like, "That log had a child!"

Check out my thread on Mike Salzo's half scale Galactica. I made my own decals and sealed with future. I also lay down future under the decal. Helps reduce silvering and helps it stick.
