Dont wetsand future!
Maybe I didnt let it cure enough but...
I let my future floor wax'd car body sit for a week. I wetsanded the orange peel, all was good. Next I began to polish the body. Well the luster remained dull so i polished harder. The next thing I know, pieces of future start peeling off and the whole body begins to cloud up. I mean the whole freakin body clouded up like gloucoma. I suspect the water got under the future somehow and floated it up. I managed to save the paintjob and decals though - I let the damaged body dry a bit and washed off the sanding residue. Next I sprayed Isopropyl alcohol onto the entire body to remelt the future. This lessened the cloudiness, and I followed up by respraying new coats of future and its now shinier than before. I guess with future, i no longer need Tamiya compound. Just drysand with 2000 grit, and future the damn thing to finish up. |

Yep, I tried that a long time ago, it will redesolve under water. I did however polish it out dry with a polishing kit and it worked great.

Next time use ammonia to remove it,it's safer and quicker. If you learn to wipe Future on you can always melt and reflow a previous coat. I have bee able to reflow and fix small areas too. If it's properly you should not need any sanding. Future's shine will not be improved by any polishes, most will just take it off. It's better to apply it and leave it alone.

Unfortunately for me, the basecoat was Testors Model Master Acryl so I couldnt wipe off the future.
