Liquid mask...This stuff is the best.

I apply 5 to 6 thin coats (making sure I don't have any thickly settled areas in the cracks and corners) with a 1inch Brown Taklon brush. They are super soft and cheap...and I've been using the same one for 2 years now after cleaning each use. I think they may be AS soft as make-up brushes? Check it out at the hobby shop/Michaels.

I use a space heater or hair dryer after each coat...and start cutting as soon as it appears the last coat dried.

When I'm doing tons at a time I use a spray gun. Water the LM down like milk and spray 3 or 4 coats. It seems to take longer to dry this way for me but I can get a lot done at a time quicker.

Ive had nothing but issue with LMF, mostly bcz of thin spots I didnt catch, and fear of making it too thick, and wasting it.

So, I mask with tape and cling wrap usually.

What PSI are you airbrush/gun users using to spray it.. un-reduced and 60/40 mix?

Thanks!
