Future Floor wax

Post by Paul Peterson »

I've read many raves over internet message boards about how great future floor wax is as a clear coat and decal sealer, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm having a hell of a time with it. I'm getting an "orange peel" texture on my finish, and I'm having a diifficult time keeping it from running. I know some people have used it with success, so what am I doing wrong?

Sounds like you're putting it on way too thick. How are you applying it? I airbrush it, and have not had any problems.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mention how I was applying it.

I'm airbrushing it on. Yes, if I spray it on too thick, it runs. I was even warned about that. When I try to add small amounts, I get the orange peel texture.

Too little will have uneven texture, and too much will cause runs. But you probably know that already, lol. Try doing it in a couple of thin coats.
