Liquid mask longevity ??

[GrahamH7060]

Hi all

I've got 4 shells that I've had liquid masked using Bob Dively LM for a few months now , how long does it stay okay to use for ?

I'm worried that it may have become brittle and will be difficult to remove when I eventually get time to start painting !

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Freshen it up with another coat before painting.

Agreed, add another thin coat to freshen it up.

Also on a side note, switch to RCS Liquid Mask Graham

Don't worry Jon , I have used the last of my LM on these shells anyway , just about be able to scrape the remains from the bottle to do a freshen up coat on each, then my friend , I will be using your superior product !!

Always take any opportunity to sell ..... Love it !!

So I finally got round to doing some more painting today , liquid mask was absolutely fine without the need to apply another freshen up quote !

Problem was with the paint !
All was going very well until I tried to mix a really pale grey colour , using faskolor black & createx white , I got the colour I wanted spot on but I couldn't get it to go through any of my brushes , tried upping the pressure came through the brush intermittently , tried thinning the paint same results !

I eventually gave up with the grey , moved onto a different colour using only faskolor paint , airbrushes worked perfectly again !

I guessed it must be the createx as I tried it on its own and got the same problem !!

Using about 40 - 50 psi , and 0.5 dual action airbrushes
Faskolor paints go through the brushes with no diluting usually

Any help would be great thanks !!
