[WWI] Future update

[John Huggins]

As promised, I did purchase a bottle of Pledge with Future Shine.   
Looking a a new bottle and a 10 year old bottle, the only thing  
different is the changes wording on the label.  Same atomic logo.  On  
the back, looking a the same 10 year old bottle, an even older  
(probably around 20 years) and the new bottle, They all contain the  
same instructions, warnings and phone numbers, no changes except  
placement on the labels.

Now the important stuff.
I opened the old bottle and the new bottle.  Guess what?  No  
difference, they both smell the same.
I checked the consistency between the two.  Guess what again? They are  
both the same.
I dipped some clear parts in both and set them aside to dry.  Guess  
what again? They are both the same.
I applied some from each bottle on bare and painted plastic with a  
brush, a Q-tip, a piece of sponge and my finger. Guess what again?  
They are both the same.
I ran some through the airbrush, then cleaned it out with Gunze  
thinner. Guess what again? They are both the same.
I poured some on a wing at the root and let it run down the surface  
coating it completely. Guess what again? They are both the same.

So, it looks like Future, It smells like Future, it tastes like Future  
and it behaves like Future, so it must be Future.

I have checked my Future inventory now and I must have at least three  
maybe 4 lifetime supplies on hand.  Does any one really think that the  
purchase of 50 gal./year would even raise a tiny blip on SC Johnson's  
sales radar.  Just be thankful that the product is there and we have  
access to ti.  My bottle costs $5.49.  Divide that by 10 years and it  
comes to $0.55 a year.

The same thing holds true for MEK from Home Depot. Less than $6.00 a  
quart can which will last 2 or three years or more, which makes about  
$2.00 per year for plastic liquid glue. Compared to $5,49 for a 1oz  
bottle of 10x-7R which is virtually the same thing with some perfumes  
and fillers added.

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
