ssnephew Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 has anyone ever tried using Liquid mask when trying to come up with a paint design? Tower Hobbies Search Results Maybe a good thing for repainting lures?? It tried some on a lip, and a metal fin seemed to work just fine.. peeled right off.. your thoughts?

mark poulson Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) Never heard of it before. Does it brush on? Have you tried it yet with water based paints? Edited July 11, 2008 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hey, if it works, it works. But its application may have limitations. For most color transitions on a crankbait, you'll want to fade from one color to another - not a distinct line. And when you do want distinct transition, it's probably easier to do it with a solid mask cut out with an Xacto knife. No waiting for the liquid mask to dry, and it's reusable.

ssnephew Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) Yes you can brush it or spray it... and it is water clean up.. the stuff I have and have been using is this Parma Liquid Mask 2 oz Now I have not tried it on unpainted wood bu tit works well on plastics its kinda like when you get white glue on your fingers.. when it dries you peal it off. Very true bob, but say you have a lure with a metal fin.. that you would like to keep silver this allows you to get right up next to the lure and such.. I purchased it a couple of years ago.. when I was into RC cars and painting the lexan bodies, figured I would give it a shot!
