Future floor wax as a sealer

Have any of you tried Future floor wax as a sealer? So far, my experiments with it seem to be promising.

Are you adding it to a completed model?

I've never used it on a card model but it works great on my flying model rockets.

Why even spray a perfectly fine model. I have some paper models of over 30 years that are just great.

I use Future on canopies only.

I plan to primarily use it to seal the white side of the paper so that I can paint without bleed through. Although I might think about spraying the outsides for painting and decaling like a pl$%tic model at some point.

Possibly it would be just as easy to seal the edge with PVA - Future has a high liquid content and, with paper, may cause more problems than it solves...Also if you are using modeller's type acrylic or enamel paint you probably won't get much if any bleed through...
