Drawing gum for masking specific areas which should remain white on water-colour paper, smooth drawing carton, photographs or films. For direct application with the dispensing bottle. Odourles and ammonia free.
Handling
Masking fluid colourless / masking fluid coloured is ready to use. You can apply the product directly on the support with the masking pen´s fine tip. If necessary, you can reduce the size of the orifice using a fine metal nozzle (for that please see well-stocked specialist shops beside the contour bottles for porcelain-painting or window-painting). The orifice may not be shortened or cut
Very soft, weakly grounded textured paper types like e.g. rag paper or torchon paper are not suitable for masking techniques
After the masking fluid is completely dry, the masked picture areas can be painted over using water-colours, gouache colours or AERO COLOR® Professional. (The drying process takes between a few minutes and more than an hour depending on the thickness of the coat!)
After this coat of paint has dried properly too, the dried rubbery-type film of the masking fluid can be removed by careful rubbing with a dry and non-greasy finger (please do not pull off)
The masking film should not be left on the support for longer than two days and must be completely removed; otherwise there is a risk of yellowing of the support
The product is dilutable with water, but dries very quickly into a rubbery-type transparent film that does not dissolve in water
Close the top tightly as soon as possible after use
The applicator tip of the masking fluid is most easily cleaned when dry using a needle
