Review (5/5): Quick and easy paint masking
I started using this product as soon as I found it. It goes on quickly and easily. You just paint it on the area you want to protect from being painted and paint over it. Once the paint is dry, just peel it off.
I have used a couple of other masking products and I cannot really tell a difference between them. They all seem to work about the same. Since I use other products (MicroSet and MicroSol) I guess there is a bit of brand loyalty going on for me. Having said that, though, I would still use this even if I did not use the other products. It works and that's all that really matters.
One bottle of this will cover about a square foot or about 144 square inches of surface if you put it on thick. If you "stretch" it out a bit it can cover twice that. A 1oz bottle lasts me for several months. I recently did a 1/35 Tiger 2 from WW2 in Tiger Stripe camo. This took about 1/4 of the bottle for all the masking including the paint chipping.
If used imaginatively, this product can help you produce some pretty nice looking paint effects. I have used it to even protect areas from chipping effects with hairspray. I removed the mask before painting over the hairspray. When I went back to do the chipping, the area I covered with the mask came out with no chipping. So you can use it to protect the finish in "low traffic" areas of your model. Just use your imagination and his product will come through for you.
