Hi guys! I just got this new tool. I wonder how do I apply/remove it after use? Info is in Japanese and I can't decipher it.

PS. Do I need to apply it thick or thin?

It depends on what you want to use it for how to apply it! To get it off, use a cotton bud that has had some dry on the end. Rub this along the surface and it will stick to the mask you applied and pull it off.

Cheers!

Paint over areas you want to mask, peeling away excess film with a knife once dry, paint (the paint will not penetrate) then remove the film. Can also be used on painted surfaces.

Thanks guys! I tried it on a "failed" mech project. It became sticky afterwards and it feels like.... sticky glue :-) :-) Will see tomorrow if my testpiece masking work
