Thanks to David Bauer for this tip.
"Most Master Grade and High Grade kits now come with clear parts for the beam sabres, eyes or mono-eye visors. Sometimes after use or during construction the clear parts get small (sometimes large) scratches on the part either through sprue attachment points or accidents!
Not to worry. Mount the part onto a toothpick and simply dip the parts in Future Floor Polish or in any other acryllic floor polish. Let the part dry (I reccomend overnight) and the scratches will be gone. The acryllic material in the polish fills in the scratches.
Also dipping clear parts in acryllic floor polish will protect the part from fogging if you use super glue on them.
Acryllic polishes uses are not just limited to clear parts. Try dipping the blade of a painted beam sabre into the polish for a bright shine!"
Additional Note:
This was taken from G-man's post on the Machine Mess Forum.
Future Floor Wax has other uses too:
- Dunk canopies/clear parts in it for brilliant shine.
- Airbrush onto matt paint to create gloss surface without the smell, prep for decal adhesion since decals prefer gloss surfaces.
- Airbrush OVER it AFTER decal has set(about 2 days to be safe) to seal it. Alternatively, can be mixed with Tamiya Flat Base at a Future to Flat Base ratio of 7:3 to 8:2 to create flat overcoat. Always experiment on unwanted model!
