Does anybody know if you can use white out ink or strips to mask clear pieces?

If it is anything like the bottle, it may not be the best idea as it will stick to it like a paint and need to be scrapped off.

It can be used as a filler but not as a masking agent...it sticks and stays stuck just as it does on paper.

Thanks Gerald.
I've been spending numerous hours cutting out little pieces of masking tape for a 1/48 B-17. Bout to break down and buys the fast mask.

Since liquid masking film, masking tape, and silly putty have alled failed, I am going to try rubber cement. This was suggested to me in another thread. Once again, I will post the results of my findings.

Tried rubber cement on a test piece. The problem is that it peels off when you cut it with your razor knife. I fear I may have to go back to cutting masking tape.
