Airbrushing with Pledge (Future) - A Simple Guide

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2024
  • Airbrushing with Pledge (or Future, or Klear) is actually very simple. Though designed as a floor polish, it's actually an excellent acrylic gloss coat. This video examines what a modeler needs to know about application and cleanup. Pledge is an excellent utility gloss coat for Star Wars, Ma. K, Warhammer 40K, Gunpla, and many other scifi and traditional scale modeling genres.
    I'd previously published a general overview use of Pledge that may also be of interest: • Scale Modeling How-To:...

    12:09 Drying times

    I have started using pledge for my top coats for my model cars and I have been happy with the results thus far. I will experiment with different topcoats in the future so that I know what works best for what I am looking for. Clearly so! I appreciate the humor in your videos. I too have returned to the hobby after a 25 year gap. I am not just having fun, I feel like I’m now obsessed with this hobby! Keep it going Jon!

    I paint fishing lures and am trying to figure out something I can use as a mid coat over mirror chrome so that it doesn’t dull when I epoxy coat. Supposedly Pledge is the preferred product. Gonna try it. One wouldn’t think mirror chrome would be so difficult to obtain but seems to be. At this point Despaie marker refills have given me the best results. Haven’t tried coating it yet with Pledge. Everything else I’ve tried kills the shine.
    Nice video. I really like your presentation style. No “music”, no endless graphics. Just pleasant presentation of information. Thx

    • @JonBius

    Way, way, WAY back in the mid eighties, I read an article in Military Modeler magazine that described using Future floor wax as a gloss coat. The article even took it a step further with adding small amount of black paint, to make it a glossy black wash. I used this for a while on all my models (I made hundreds of models because I used to wargame with them in 1/72 scale). The only problem I had with the wash was you had to gently stir the mixture, not shake it. Shaking would cause the Future to "bubble up" , which caused some unwanted effects when you got down to the bottom of the paint pot, or bottle on the airbrush.
    Great video. I will have to "re-introduce" Pledge floor wax into my painting process.

      @JonBius I appreciate your videos and your detailed explanations. Lengthy videos are great when they are informative and not a lot of babbling! I found out about using Pledge a few years back watching hpiguys workshop. He uses it almost all the time on his builds over rustoleum spray cans and the results are really good.

    • @JonBius
      @JonBius  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@deputy3690Thank you! When I tried to "be a TH-camr", short videos were better received, but far less helpful. So I decided it was better to be helpful than popular, and I try to get as much information as I can into each one, staying focused on the actual hobby. Not clever music (I've dropped all intro music, etc., in my more recent videos), not "this video sponsored by", no clever B-roll. It's boring in an entertainment sense, but I figure if you were over at my house just hanging out, and you said "so how did you do xyz?", my videos are pretty much what it would be if I was talking one-on-one. Just without the occassional break to head into the kitchen for more chips, pizza, or sammiches. 😊
      Anyway - thanks for your kind words, and for seeing what it is I try to do. That means a lot to me.
      Happy day to you friend!

  • @theBaron0530
    @theBaron0530 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @4:35 yeah, regarding thinning, I've found the same thing. I've thinned it with water, and with isopropyl, but found it's not necessary. I apply it lightly enough to cover without getting runs and drips. I want it to be about as thick as if I had applied it by hand, which I do on my toy soldiers.
    @12:09 Yeah, overnight, for a decal gloss coat or when dipping clear parts. I do put pieces in a container, not to facilitate drying, but to keep dust from landing in it while it dries. When I use it in painting my toy soldiers, I'll wait till I can touch the piece without leaving a fingerprint. I use mostly acrylics now, and I find that some of them rub off with handling. So I'll paint a figure's legs, or the base, for example, then apply Future over that area to seal it as I continue to work on it. Eventually, I'll give the figure a couple of coats when I finish, anyway.
    I also learned to use Future to make glazes. I mix a drop of water, a drop of Future, and just enough color to tint it. I use this to do some shading on a figure. On a face, for example, after having finished the details, I'll mix a glaze of a darker flesh color and run it into the low areas-under the lower eyelids, under the chin, in the ears, those lines from the corners of your mouth to your nose, etc. When it cures, it looks a little like a piece of ceramic.

    Great tips in this video. I've been airbrushing Future/Pledge for a few years now, mostly as a prep for oil washes and decals and I do dilute it a bit with water, sometimes a50/50 ratio, but I've had a few issues with beading or coat buildup at the bottom of vertical surfaces or the edges of flat ones that I've been able to control without much difficulty or messing up. But after watching your video, I think that diluting future may be precisely the root-cause of this problem. I do it mostly as to shoot a finer, thinner layer of the stuff. I'll start following your advice here, so just wanted to say thanks a lot for making this video. Cheers!

    Jon, glad you mentioned shooting it wet. I can't tell you how many models I built with a gritty "gloss" coat because I listened to all the advice to build up with mist coats.
    Well I could have put on a hundred mist coats and all I would have ended up with is a half inch thick layer of dull acrylic, which was fine if the model was to ultimately end up with a flat coat, but wasn't cutting it for the glossier schemes.
    I finally took the plunge and let the flow rip and now I get the sheen I've always wanted - clearly so!
    I guess the multiple mist coats method works well for some, but I never learned the secret to success.
    God bless

    • @JonBius
      @JonBius  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's interesting that ya'll are saying this, because in every case where I didn't mist on at least the first coat of Future, it beaded up on me. My best results were sprayed through my Iwata HP-CS (. 02 needle) at 13-15 psi. Once that initial mist coat set up, I could go on heavier.

We also use it in the bathroom and shower and it's not yellowed over the year's that we've used it! It seems to throw off the water in the shower too.

    I would confirm what Jon says about using Windex to clean the airbrush. It actually works in terms of stripping out acrylic paint. However, ammonia will etch the chrome off of the interior, especially the bottom of the color cup if left in too long. There is one guy on TH-cam that claims the ammonia doesn't hurt the airbrush, appealing to an engineer degree. But I have seen me do it, Thayer Chandlers, Paasches, and Iwatas. Ammonia is an awesome cleaner for rifle bores, and airbrushes. You just can't leave it sit more than 10 minutes.

    • @JonBius
      @JonBius  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Jon!
    I still use future but have mostly limited my use to enhancing clear parts or simulating lenses. Why? Glad you asked. :)
    I did an experiment on my channel with Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color (a.k.a. an enamel wash) and various clear gloss overcoats. I found that Future/Pledge built up in the recessed panel lines which in turn displaced the wash. Since then I have been using Tamiya X-22 Clear for my gloss coats. My normal process after color coats is X-22, decals, X-22, weathering, Dullcote.
    So what? So nothing, we are just passing on our own experiences. As you and I both say, it's your model to do with what you want. If it works it works. There are no wrong answers.
    Kleerly so!
    Ciao

    Nice video and great process. Since Future, has no Future, I've been looking for a cheap replacement. I took a chance on Quick Shine Multi-Surface Floor Finish. It is a white and green bottle. The color is a cloudy clear until it dries crystal clear. I've brushed it onto one of my models and it works great! This model was painted with krylon color shift. The color shift was preserved and it brought the gloss up. I'm trying the airbrush next with your recommendations on cleaning the airbrush.

    Hey Jon, just want to let you know I really enjoyed watching this video last night. I watched a few other of your long form "deep thoughts" videos and I really appreciate your honest and thoughtful thoughts on the hobby. When I was younger, I searched for years for a product called "Future", and being in the US, I could never find it. It took me a long time to figure out it was just Pledge floor gloss product. Things are really cryptic sometimes for newer people getting into the hobby. Your long form videos are really helpful in that way I think, as people truly interested in progressing in the hobby will get value from it. You made a comment about how you can lump 95% of the hobby into a large group, but its those 5% that that go above and beyond and look at those details to truly become noteworthy (Maybe not exactly in those words). It's interesting that it might be a similar percentage that are "getting past the 7 minute mark" on some of your longer videos as you stated also later on. I can directly point to your videos on airbrushing that helped me so much at that time to become comfortable and at least proficient at it and move forward to the next challenge. I don't have much of a point except to say thank you for the videos, and I will certainly look forward to more if you choose to make them. Have a great day!
