Handy Masking Solution

Post by Chuck E »

This is available from hobby and art shops and makes a very cheap masking solution.
Also very handy for making simple moulds.

It was £5 odd from a local Arts Shop, Rich. You get a whole litre. A bit cheaper than the model based masking rubber. I got it a while back to mould some plaster parts.

At £5 thats a decent price as its usually found at a price of £12-£14 per litre jug.
Copydex makes a good mask too.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

It may be cheap but finding room for it in my workroom would be a problem especially as I would never use more than a cup full.
