Hey Jeffrey! Feel free to use our Liquid Mask on any surface without needing a previous layer of varnish. This product won't harm the colored surface :)
Hello Aquaticnstuff! The best brush for applying our Liquid Mask is a rubber or silicone brush. These brushes can be easily cleaned by simply peeling off the dried mask once you're finished. In contrast, natural or synthetic brushes bristles stick together because of the liquid mask, making them more difficult to clean. If you prefer, you can use an old brush and clean it patiently with some alcohol afterwards.
¡Buenos dias Enrique! Muchas gracias por escribirnos! Para el uso de la mascara líquida es recomendable usar un pincel viejo ya que cuando la máscara se seca es dificil deshacerse completamente de ella sin dañar las cerdas. Otra opción es usar pinceles de silicona para poder llegar a los rincones y que permiten limpiarse con solo despegar la máscara seca. Algunas personas utilizan amoníaco o acetonas para deshacerse de los restos de sus pinceles pero son sustancias con vapores fuertes, por lo que tendrias que tener cuidado al utilizarlas o utilizar palillos de madera para desecharlos una vez utilizada la máscara. Esperamos que sea de ayuda :)
Hello! You must use a rubber or old brush because dried Liquid Mask cannot be removed from the bristles unless you try to get rid of the product by scraping the bristles with care. Also, you can try cleaning the brush immediately after using the liquid mask with water but we highly recommend to use a rubber brush, old brush or a cocktail stick for applications :)
Hello Jake, maybe the lacquer paint can affect the painting and water-based products you used previously so first test the compatibilities, remember to do that not on your model. Once you have finished painting the surrounding area, the masking fluid, a rubbery film, is peeled off. Do not leave the masking fluid on the model for a long time, it will become too dry and difficult to remove.
@@vallejocolors okay! I mainly ask because I am painting a Flak 37 and need to mask to dial gauges before priming with Mr Surfacer. I’ll then be painting with all Vallejo, but I need the mask remain until weathering. I will used tape instead! If the mask is applied directly to styrene/plastic(not on top of paint), does it still become hard to remove if left for too long? Thank you for the quick reply! It’s nice to be able to communicate quickly with you guys for advice and tips. It’s really really appreciated!!!!
@@HE-162 You're welcome Jake ;) Bear in mind that styrene is porous so the liquid mask can be adhered and willl be hard to remove. If you use another type of non-porous plastic, with a smooth surface, you should have no problem. You can always use some hard putties (malleable as plasticine) if liquid mask is not an option or even masking tape that will be safer to use ;)
Agreed, bad examples, I use it for 1/1200 sail ship masking, the small scale makes this easier to use than tape imo, ofc those with a peeling "fetish" would prefer the satisfaction of peeling it off 😆
Hello! Thanks for contacting us! We are not sure the compatibility with other companies' paints, you can ask them for more info and maybe they can share with you some tips :)
Hello! Yes, it can damage the airbrush to the point that you won't be able to clean the dried resin rubber the mask will leave, so never use it with AB. For applying liquid mask, you must use a rubber brush or an old brush :)
How long can you keep the masking agent on the model? On the bottle it says "Do not leave applied for a long time", but doesn't specify how long is too long. Are we talking hours, days, weeks?
Hello! You must keep the masking agent once dry the less time possible. Try to paint the miniature immediately after you notice mask is dry and after the painting then remove it. Maybe this can be 2 hours or less. It depends on the miniature you're painting.
Oh, Vallejo .please, make this if you can: 1.model color - transparent white 2.game ink - white Can you expand the line of glazes in you model color section? We really need this.
Vallejo 70.596 Glaze Medium...Just make your own; i do it everyday... works like a charm, the only thing can be that it gets soapy if you put to much ( glazes are just dish soap added to paint)
Hey, dare Vallejo is it safe to let youre liquid mask stay on for days? I have already masked an area on a model but dont have time to start painting yet.
Hello Statoil! We recommend removing it as soon as it dries and after painting over the mask but in case you cannot do it on that deadline never let it for more than 12 hours to avoid the liquid mask from excessively dehydrating and getting stuck to the paint.
Hello Filip, the liquid mask should be applied with an old brush or you can also apply it with a rubber brush. With them, you'll be sure not to harm your painting tools (the second option is great because you can easily clean it after use)
Hello Sean! You always have to keep your brush wet to avoid the liquid mask drying, because it is really hard to remove the product from the bristles. For applying this product, we recommend a rubber brush (they're so easy to clean).
This looks a lot different from when I tried to use it. It never cured to a fully transparent state, and when I tried to peel it off again... Let's just say that a lot of bad words were being used... It had bonded so strongly with the model that I had a real fight to get it to peel off. And in the end I just gave up on it and discarded both the masking fluid and the model. I just couldn't get it to peel off, especially in the crevasses where it had bonded as strongly as super glue. If you use it, I would certainly recommend testing it on an old model first. And only use it on flat surfaces.
@@ollieboy4817 have tried warm water, acrylic thinner and acetone. One lady on UA-cam uses Goo Gone or something, but dont think it's available in uk:/ will further try other solvents I have, but I think vallejo should come up with suggestions for users, if not proper msds
@@vallejocolors OK, thanks for replying, I love the fluid for masking models. I have read that rubbilg vaseline into the bristles loosens the dried mask allowing it to come off easily then wash the brush in dish soap to remove the vaseline, haven't triad it yet though as the brush I used was beyond recovery 🤭
Hello Flankerlist. Please, send us an email with this issue to info@acrylicosvallejo.com. Our Technical team will answer you as soon as possible. Thank you. Regards!
Hello Carrera, with this additional technique, you don't have to use our chipping medium. You can paint the base color, add then the liquid mask unevenly in the areas you like the most (and the effect), let it dry and then paint the final color. Use some tools or blu tac to remove the dry liquid mask and you're done!
They’re very different things. Chipping mediums (and hairspray) work by letting you remove the top layer of paint. A process which tends to be difficult if you want to create a clearly defined area. Masking fluids let you prevent paint being applied to a particular area in the first place. They do the same job as masking tape but unlike tape can handle masking complex shapes or 3D surfaces..
painting liquid mask for rusting effect seems easy enough, but precision application of masking tape? oh hell no i dont have the patience for that. beautiful work though.
The plane wing was a failure as the paint seeped under the masking tape, and was then cleaned off Using the liquid mask next to the masking tape on the plane wing seemed pointless as the liquid mask is much more expensive than the masking tape, much easier to just tape the rest of the wing It doesn't make sense to apply liquid mask next to the tape on the wing Just tape the plane wing Why use the more expensive liquid mask next to the tape on the wing?
Just an absolute joke, why would anyone use masking tape and then paint in the gap with liquid, complete and utter B.S., talk about trying to invent a reason to use it. Embarrassing
It’s a sensible way to mask things. You get a sharp edge with the masking tape exactly along the line you want, e.g. by applying it butting up to a panel line. The masking fluid is then used to fill the rest of the area that needs to be masked. Then the object can be airbrushed without worrying about over-spray or a lack of accuracy getting paint where it isn’t wanted.
@@tlw4237 LOL.. it's a silly way. Use a bit more masking tape and you achieve exactly the same. Graham is right it's a joke. I can imagine that they rather would have showed it on the edges where it might be more difficult to use tape. Thing is... That masking liquid didn't go so well with the canopy. It simply wouldn't stick to it so they decided to use it on the inside where a piece of extra masking tape would have been 10 times easier: There's no waiting for the liquid to dry for 2 hours. Nope.. just continue right away and by the time they waited for the liquid to dry, the ones using extra masking tape would have been finished with it one hour and 45 minutes before they even start to paint.
Did you *have* to use a Nazi head as your example? I mean, like out of the millions of figurines you could pick from, it absolutely *had* to be a Nazi? This is just poor judgement.
And whats seems to be a problem exactly? From what I see that its not an ordinary nazi but probably Rommel by the looks and from his overall popularity, so the person who presumably was a part of a Hitler assasination plot. Not to mention that nazis did exist so there is nothing wrong with making historical models or busts. Its kinda weird that you had no problem with VW hood since, ya know, it was Hitler who wanted to make cars for normal folk
Hello Demian! Thank you very much for writing to us! 😊 To prevent damage to the bristles, it is recommended to use an old brush when applying liquid mask. This is because once the product dries, it is difficult to remove completely. When done with Liquid Mask and need to clean the brushes, some people use ammonia or acetone to get the remaining product off. But be warned - these chemicals have strong vapors and can harm your bristles, so you should be extra careful when using them. You can also use wooden toothpicks to apply Liquid Mask and discard them if you don't want to use chemicals or your own brushes. Another option: why not try using silicone brushes? They're super handy and make cleaning a breeze - you can simply peel off the dry mask afterward. We hope it helps :)
He's just showing us what can be achieved with the liquid mask in different ways !!
The fact the paint raises and bubbles is a great effect in itself leaving the paint to flake is amazing
I was laughing about the absurdity about the masking examples: "Let's do it the hard way and use Liquid Mask for this while we have already done the difficult thing with masking tape. The car was nice though.
Yep. That corsair canopy could have just been completely masked.
For the car hood weathering and the plane canopy it made perfect sense. On the head I feel it just makes more work unnecessarily; on the wing especially it would have been far cheaper and quicker to just do it all in masking tape.
Thank you for the feedback and suggestions Richard! :)
this product is really great for the rust effect but i was disapointed by the canopy and wing effect
The weathering effect was great, but for the others, it would have been easier to just use a little more tape.
Yeah, that wing didn't work out quite that well.
Exactly what i was thinking
Indeed.
I think it could work very nicely if you have complex shapes to mask where tape is hard to get correctly
