Smile And another Quick Question

I am going to start putting some washes on my U-Boat model soon so I want to give it a coat of future first.

Being so big I would like to spray it so my question is what do you use to thin down Future for spraying?

Richard,if you do decide to spray Future then be careful and do it outside,I think that Ammonia is the thinners,why not just load a lint free cloth and wipe all over,being self levelling it will come out fine.
If you do spray wear eye and respiratory protection,but I do not recommend spraying this stuff.

I have sprayed it before and providing you use low air pressure it goes on fine (you dont need to thin it either)

Thanks for the help guys, I'll have a play but may just brush it on after all and rely on its levelling properties to guarrante the finish.
