[Recommendations for Liquid Masking Media]

I would like to know what members preferred liquid masking product was. I have Humbrol's Maskol but find it quite tricky to use, when it starts to dry out while being applied and further brushing removes what you have just applied. Brushes are also difficult to wash out....

Thanks,

Nigel

The pictures don't appear for me which is a shame as I've just about finished this model as well and would like to compare efforts. Any chance of reattaching them?

[Using old Micro Mask]

I have just restarted modelling after leaving the hobby for some twenty years. Most of my paints and materials are still intact after their protracted storage but I seam to have hit a problem with an old bottle of Micro Mask. I have used it a couple of times now on matt painted surfaces and have experienced problems when trying to remove it. If painted on in a thin single layer it has proved a nightmare to demask. It will come off if painted on thickly or if several coats are appled. I don't remember having to use it like this before which is a bit of a pain. I much prefer Micro Mask to Humbrol's Maskol but am wondering if it has "gone off" after all this time. It also have a tendency to string which I don't remember it doing before.

Has anyone else had this problem? Perhaps I should bin it and get a fresh bottle. Comments welcomed.

Thanks,

Nigel
