Subject: Washes with Future

Painters, Artists, and those of you who don't
appear on Beth's _List_ for those who paint
their figures with spray paint:

Someone mentioned using Future floor wax in a wash to get better effects when
painting minis. The one part of the picture I'm missing is the recipe (ratio)
for the mix. Anyone who use this technique care to remind me? I've got some
figures that will need washing shortly and I'd like to give this "wash and
wax" <runs to hide from impending arrival of Narn Blunt Trauma Squad>
technique a try.

Clue me in. (Why do I see the Narns arriving
with Clue-by-Fours....). Chris/Beth/Derek - this is
not a straight line for your amusement....;)

Tomb.

I've been working with the Future Wash technique for only a short while so
YMMV. I use a 3:1 or 4:1 mixture of water to Future and my 'water' is actually
a standard mixture of water and Liquitex Flow Aid as per the

bottle instructions. Using this mixture I use anywhere from a 1:2 to a 1:4
mixture of ink or paint to Future solution for my actual wash. I home this
helps.

Thought it was Derek's List?

Well, since you specifically excluded me, I won't mention that this was
mentioned on the list 3Sept00, or that the recipe is:

"Pre-mix some of the FUTURE, one part of acrylic finish to four parts
of water. This is the Magic Wash stock. I made mine up in a liter sealable
milk bottle. Making a clear stock up ahead of time allows the small bubbles
which can result when mixed with water to subside over time."
