Because it's super cheap and it seems car model builders always want to go with the cheap option. *NM*

I’m still a bit confused why this has become a “go to” clear for folks vs using a compatible clear to the paint that was used? My experience is the pledge tends to yellow over time , also doesn’t seem to be as durable as the solvent based clears *NM*

Getting tiny small bubbles when brushing on clear acrylic (Future). Most seem to flash off, but some dry in the coating. Any way to 100% eliminate them? *NM*
Gently stirred, not shaken? *NM*
As James Bond would say…..yes! *NM*
No, "shaken, not stirred". *NM*
Wondering if a drop or two of a surfactant might persuade it to not bubble
When clear acrylic (Future) was discussed, some made it out like you can just brush it on and get a flawless finish. It’s getting obvious you need to air brush it on to get a flawless look. Simply brushing it on won’t work if you want a perfect finish. *NM*
Strongly disagree...I have NEVER found it necessary to airbrush Future.... As a matter of fact, I think that by airbrushing, you would be just asking for problems such as runs. The ONLY trick to brushing it on is to not try to "work" it.... .

I thought it was the opposite. Clear acrylic like Pledge floor shine (formally Future) DOES NOT yellow over time like a clear paint would especially over decals. *NM*
