Putting Future on model window glass been mentioned at least a dozen times but I've never really seen the answers to these questions. And I've heard it more in the relm of model airplanes than model cars. So here goes:

What exactly does this do? I've heard it "makes the glass clearer." How? Does it fill in scratches and other imperfections, smoothing the surface so it's easier to see through? Doesn't the clear-paint-on-clear-plastic cause extra light diffraction that makes it even harder to see inside the car? The methode is supposedly to "dip" the part; do you fill a container with enough to immerse the whole part? Do you dip it in and take it out like icecream in sprinkles, or do you wait a bit? How do you dry the part and how do you avoid runs?! Does it really work? Doesn't Future yellow? Doesn't it add thickness to the already thick glass making it even harder to see through?

Sorry for the question barrage. I am thoroughly disgusted with the window glass in my Hasagawa EG kit, and need to find some way to improve it, so this might be a great reason to try this Future stuff on window glass. If no one can answer my questions, I'll just go ahead and report the findings, it's just that I'm reluctant to mess up the glass since it's the one part you can't build a model withouth, and so I'd have to buy another EG to waste, just for the glass.

OMGTHXDooDS!
