Masking

[tc_cat333]

ok well I went to Micheal’s today and no body knew what I was talking about when I asked where I could find masking fluid, so I looked in the paint section and then in the glass paint section and I couldn’t find anything so I bought tacky glue because I know that it drys kinda rubbery so that I can peel it off later… and that is that.. we’ll see how that goes..

People actually knowing what they are selling… Yet another caualty of the Alberta Boom 😕

Masking Fluid can also be found at Art stores (Universities or colleges are usually cheapest) and in The Art section of Michaels, back with all the canvases, the hidden paints and brushes.

I use masking fluid, the Windsor & Jensen stuff from Michaels. Found it in the art section, with the artists paints, not the crafting section. I put it on with an old brush and after it dries I put on another layer, then another and so on. I like to put it on thick, that way it comes off easy. I also use a sharp razor to cut around the edges to ‘break the seal’ sorta and a SMALL sharp pair of jewelers tweezers(or even pointy eye brow tweezers) to gently lift and pull it off. I haven’t had any trouble at all, besides the paint pulling up if I got the masking fluid on the sculpt and then painted over it.

I always use it, especially if I’m using pastels because I use a spray fixative that would coat the eyes, horn or gem of said critter….
