is micro mask liquid mask waterproof ????

Post by BERT aka MODEL MAKER »

I have a question about micro mask liquid mask. I just used it on a part that has 64 different tiny clear windows that i masked off so i can spray the part silver, after going through this long process :idea: i realized that i was handling this part with my bare fingers, now i will need to wash the part to get the fingerprint oils off so i can get a good paint job. My question is this, can i wash this part with the mask in place and air dry it without disturbing the dry liquid mask ? this stuff is crystal clear on a crystal clear part and nearly impossible to see it so i won't know if it washed off or not :oops: before i spray it. thanks :)

You can get liquid mask at WalMart, at least you could in Canada. Be worth looking for, lots cheaper, and the same stuff.
Stand back, I don't know how big this thing gets.
