Tissue over tissue

Wout: When tissue is used over tissue, the new piece of tissue can be placed dry in the right place and Future can be applied directly on top. The Future will be absorbed by both layers of tissue, which will bond together when the Future dries. In the meantime you have a few minutes to make adjustments or to correct mistakes.

 





Tissue over foam


Wout: Future is completely friendly for all types of foam. In the example, tissue strips are used as canopy frame over foam and clear plastic. Don’t try this with dope!




Best and Worst of Future (we both worked on this)

When to use Future:
- normal covering jobs
- tissue over foam: Future is completely foam friendly
- as a sealer over decals
- as a topcoat over acrylic paints
- when the smell or high of dope is prohibitive

When to use dope:
- tissue over Mylar, because dope gives a better bond between tissue and mylar film
- tissue printed on an inkjet printer, because most inks will dissolve and run when in contact with water, but are safe in contact with dope
