Paul, <In the Charlie Brown voice THAT’s IT!!! Yeah … perfect. The stuff I have is the Badger stuff. I’m not particularly fond of anything I’ve seen with their name on it (so far!). Thanks Paul! Scott B – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi Scott, Welcome to the group even though you’ve been lurking for a while. With regards to masking the best film you can use it called Art Mask made by Artool. It’s quite a new film and is way better than the better known Frisk film. The frisk film is made by a new manufacturer now and it’s way to sticky. It lifts paint and tears the board. The Artool film is much better and I’ve not had any trouble with it since I switched to it last year. Find it at this link.

Good day Badger does have some good stuff, you said you were using createx paint (which is not badger) which we use on occasion at our shop. It seems to take 3 times as long to dry and often we have to use a heat gun to hurry it up. As far as a low tack masking we use a sign making premask… it comes in various sizes and leaves no residue. It is very similar to low tack masking tape or you can get it in clear, which is nice for doing complex layouts. It is reusable to a point and easy to cut, but mostly it is cheap in comparison to other films. If your going to stick with the createx, just try to give it more dry time.

I tend to use shields rather than masking film but in the past I did use a film that caused no damage. Can’t remember the name though. It might have been 3Ms. Here’s a Google search for the stuff: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22masking+film%22… oogle+Search You could also try going to a large graphics supplies store and asking there. One other thing: If you’ve not got an extractor, always wear a good facemask when spraying acrylics. They can cause terrible inflammation of the throat and I’m sorry to say, even cancer if inhaled. Hope this helps. Nemo

I need some advise on masking material. he stuff I’m using now is from AC Moore (red letters on white (on the label)) I can’t find the label … so I can’t tell you what the brand name is. I do know, I don’t like it …. It pulls up paint and tears up paper on my foam board. So what kind of low tack masking can I actually use? I’ve been to the local 2 art stores, no has illustration board, so I’ve been usinf foam board to get started (learn on). I’m using an Iwata HP-BC and a Paasche VL (using the fine needle). Primarily using Ceatex paint and I also have a few other choices to use (Reeves fine Gouache, and FW Acrylic Artists Ink). I’ve appreciated Paul’s work and Hawgeye’s (as I know his nick name). Having had a little time off for the holidays, I’ve been trying to get set up to actually do a few illustrations on 20" x 30" board. I’m trying to, eventually, do a specific car model that will be illustrated to look like glass (with some red for the tail lights, and a few other ideas). Scott B

Thanks Nemo, I did spray a little without the mask, … realized what I was doing and the smell … vented in a hurry It wasn’t the best. I now have a bunch (a 20 pack) of the 3M (N95 8210-C) masks … for sanding painted surfaces. I also have a cartridge mask (if I can find it).

A trick of OLD spread some rubber cement on your work. While it is still wet SQUEGGIE a sheet of tracing velem, onion skin paper , down with a triangle 45 works the best. Exacto out your area. Lift out the paper then rub the cement that is left in the space out or use a pickup to get it. Spray and move on. Steve E.
