Expand Look's like what is happening is the air brush needle point tip is loading up. ( this reduces your volume output making a dryer coat ) This will realy hapen bad when you set the air brush to the side, waiting for flash time between coats. Take the front end apart clean it, and if your going to set the brush to the side for flash time.... spray Windex through it. Also make sure you have the right needle in the brush, you want the one for a high volume cause your covering a large area. Jack12477, Javlin and mtaylor 2 1

Expand Future/Pledge also needs a wet coat brother, on everything/place your going to put it... So plan on complete coverage and do your setup accordingly... It dries very thin so the only real complication is handling run off... (thinned wet coats tend to run) What I do is keep a pile of absorbent material next to where I'm clear coating and when the future runs enough to start collecting on the low spot, touch it to the absorbent material to wick off the excess... You only want the droplet that forms to touch the wick, do not allow the surface to touch otherwise you will have a touch up to do... Definitely needs a wet coat to work properly...
