I'm just saying I have no idea if the newer versions are the same recipe as the original or not, and I've moved on to other products, not wanting to take a chance.And I generally thin it no less than 50-50 ( in the paint world that means 100% reduction or equal volumes of each). Floor polish of this kind is just a form of plastic, after all, and in this form is usually disposed of into the waste water system, ending up in the sea, rivers, and lakes. However, I don't want to spend the committment building a kit to see it ruined by discoloration or, worse, gloppy goo or other problems that I can envision the gremlins of airbrushing foisting on me as I spray a coat of this stuff on something that's taken me months to nearly complete.

The one I picked up today at Walmart is clear, the same size and shape bottle, but the ingredients are like a little book - lots of chemicals. I use Pledge Floor Care, one iteration or another of clear lacquer, Tamiya X-22 and Liquitex varnishes at various times. I'm posting three pictures I took a few minutes ago just so you all understand which bottles of Pledge I'm referring to. That may not tell me all that could go wrong over time but it'll give me a clue as to how it coats in the moment. I resharpen blades, I reuse containers; I hang onto sprues for scratch building; I make my own sprue goo.

Kiki is simply a water-based polyurethane as far as I know, probably watered down a bit; it's pretty much the same stuff that is used to seal wood floors, etc. Pledge is a name trusted by millions and has been keeping homes around the world both clean and beautiful since it was introduced by SC Johnson back in 1956. Yes, as you can see from the pictures I posted, my older bottle is exactly that - Pledge Floor Care - and it has served me well for several years. I noticed that the old list of ingredients is pretty vague, whereas the new bottle is very specific.

Just because I'm used to isopropyl alcohol in my paint thinning experience I'll probably try that first if I end up having to use Tamiya X-22. It's not hard to work with though, grab a bottle and blow through some of that to catch your approach to the stuff.For parts that are really loose and floor polish isn't thick enough, I just take the parts apart and coat them with my Tamiya clear coat and let it dry for 24 hours.
