Hey Guys

TIA

I have used it for years. It is a very good masking agent. You can manipulate it much easier than masking tape, so I find it easier to create camo paterns.

The downsides are do not stretch it too much when it you are applying it because it may split on you. Remove it as soon as the paint dries. Sometimes if you leave it on too long after a paint application it will become very difficult (but not impossible) to remove.

Good luck,

Run a Sharp #11 around the edge of the masking before pulling it off. It will come off without pulling the paint with it if you let it set too long.

It's great stuff. It takes a little getting used to. DO NOT used solvent based paints or primers over this material. It will react with them and get stuck to your model.

:-) Shawn,
I use it all the time for masking canopies. It's good stuff but it's one of those items that you have to "get to know" I have the lowdown on it somewhere, I'll try and find it and PM you with it. I've never used it for masking camo though.
If I haven't PM'd you in a couple of days give me a heads up, just started a new job (today :-))
and I have much less time than of late :-)
