liquid mask help

[hammerhead]

right i have a brand new jar of the bob divley stuff here and ive given a shell 5 coats of the damn stuff each time its dried before applying the next coat im doing it in thick but not so thick it laves clumps its been left over night in the airing cupboard and is ready to cut.
thing is when i cut it and go to peel it is like its only had 2 coats thinly applied not peeling properly has any one else had this problem with this brand?
i had a shell that was allready masked but was with a green masking and i found that to be a lot better but unsure of what masking that was.

cant say i have ever had that problem with divleys mate, usually 4-6 good coats is more than enough, if its hard to remove and feels brittle add some more thick coats,if its hard and rubbery you may have force dried it to quick,again add another good coat it usually softens up abit after another coat,good luck let us know how u get on,

yep, like carl, never had that trouble.

as for the green masking fluid, my rcs mask is the only green liquid mask i know of, could be wrong though.

cheers lads

ive allways used bob divley stuff and never had trouble before might be a bad batch?
ive given another thick coat this time see what its like tomoz

Vallejo is green as well but that one is pain in the ass - well we discussed that long time ago.

Didnt want to clog up the forum with a new thread, so im taking this one

I want to give liquid masking a go, painting some touring shells that i have coming tomorrow.

Im being tight, and wondering as i only want to try it, if the Faskolor Fasmask Liquid Mask (4oz) is ok to use, as in not a pain in the ass and that it puts me off, i.e doesnt peel that good etc. Ive given masking tape ago and i was Epic Fail once things started getting complicated

Havent got a airbrush, just want to use the left over Tamiya air cans that are i have left in the garage lol... Nothing too fancy by design, but would like to back whatever i do with pin stripes around them to define my doodles

Thanks for any sort of advice response =]

it'll work Steve, but needs a few coats. Grab some for me while you're at it I've run out.

my self prfere liquid mask as i can seem to cut it better than the tape id recomend trying it on a spare bit of lexan to get the jist of it before you go on the shells and remember not to press to hard with the blade as you will score the body
