How should Art Masking Fluid be used?
Masking Fluid protects areas of your work when colour is applied in broad washes. Unlike Permanent Masking Medium which is inter-mixable with water colours, Art Masking Fluid works by direct application to the paper. It can be applied to white paper or previously coloured areas.Follow these helpful tips to get the best results when masking. 1.Shake bottle before use. 2. Do not use on wet or damp paper. 3. Use gelatine surface sized paper, this helps to prevent the fluid from adhering too strongly to the paper. 4. Use old brushes or dip pens to avoid damaging valuable brushes. 5. Wash brushes in soapy water immediately after use. 6. Ensure fluid is dry before applying colour. 7. Do not leave fluid on paper for long periods of time. 8. Use Colourless Art Masking Fluid if there is any risk of staining from the pigmented Art Masking Fluid. 9. If spilt by accident, wash item immediately in soapy water. Once dry, the latex can only be removed by picking at it or rubbing with an eraser. There
