Re: Using Future on vac forms
I have never managed to get really satisfactory results with Future on bodies but it has saved my bacon on clear parts a few times now.
I slowly (to avoid air bubbles) pour the Future into a wide necked container/tub to allow for easy and smooth dipping and let it stand for a few minutes.
Holding the part in self-closing tweezers or something similar, I then SLOWLY and gently glide the part into the Future and then draw it back out.
I dry it in my dehydrator tipped up with an edge resting on a paper towel to absorb the run off.
If I do get a run or dust (which sometimes happens), I simply clean the part with Mr. Muscle and then try again. I have always go a good result in a maximum of three attempts.
When it works, it really does bring a clear part to life IMHO.
