Default help with masking technique please

hi all i am getting my airbrush set up again and gonna do a few shells
ive always masked my shells with tape and vinal before but i have now decided to go down the liquid mask route for more detail in my shells
i no that rcs is the stuff to use but it was out of stock at je
so i have tried using humbrol maskol
http://www.humbrol.com/shop/coatings...l-28ml-bottle/
i apply 3 or 4 coats but when i come to cut it it has a tendency to chatter at the edges and not cut cleanly and it also has a lot of tension so seems to ping rather than peel
am i using the wrong stuff to start with ?
also is it best to cut pin stripes first or last im not sure i could cut them at all with this rubbery mask, is the rcs mask rubbery or does it peel off more like masking tape or vinal
any help and tips and recommendations of brands of liquid mask well appreciated
cheers guys
