Using Future for water?

[Iain]

Why not use water?  ;D

Tom-

I wouldn't use Future for still or deep water.

I had two bad experiences with Future. First, after a couple of coats, each thin pour (which took DAYS to dry completely) developed little holes or flaws when drying. A new coat would fix that one, but leave one somewhere else. I put probably 4 coats on that way until I gave up.

Finally, I poured Envirotex on the top after letting the future dry for a week or so. This worked and looked great, until bubbles the size of pinheads formed between the Envirotex and the Future after about two months.  >

You may have better luck than me, but you won't find out until it's done for awhile.

I would use Magic Water if I had any still water to do right now.

Hope this helps,

The car modelers down at the LHS only use Future now for their gloss coat. Will be interesteing to see how it reacts to multiple layers and how it holds up over time.

Geez, you'd think a multi-billion dollar corporation like Johnson Wax could afford to update their own website when they change a product name.  :
