what about clearcoats
Being relativly new to modeling after a 55 year hiatus, I've had some discussions regarding clearcoats. Many guys have sworn by Future floor finish. I got some and used it with mixed results. Theory is the formula was changed when it became Pledge future and it's not the same stuff.
I used it as a base after painting to lay decals on. Seemed to work ok. However, as I build military ships (mostly aircraft carriers) I prefer a flat finish. Really, a less than dead flat, somewhere between semi gloss and flat. I've used Model master ACRYL clear mostly but was wondering about alternatives in different sheens.
