I personally really like RCS liquid mask from Jon Miller (rcsgraphicworx) it goes on nicely and peels off a treat.

There are others such as Fasmask which is ok and Bob Dively (incredibly hard to get hold of over here but also heard really good things about)

If I were you I'd get the rcs stuff, either from xfactory (distributor), or order through your local hobby shop or through the rcs website.

I recently used the RCS mask for the first time, I put down 4 coats leaving a day between coats to dry, when I cut the mask last night it started splitting along the cut lines and leaving gaps about .5mm wide... almost like it was stretched, so I have had to peel it off and start again, I washed the shell thoroughly with warm soapy water and dried it with a lint free cloth etc... Is there any reason why it could have done this ?
It has been kept in the house not the shed so it's not frozen at any point or anything daft like that and I gave it a good shake before applying to make sure it was mixed... I'm at a bit of a loss to think what went wrong

Any thoughts ?

Cheers,
Aaron.
