Liquid Mask advice

After several different experiments I think that I am much closer to figuring out the sticky masking issue (bad humor). I actually picked up a second liquid mask, the Micro Mask type, which seems to have some advantages and disadvantages over Ambroid. Micro Mask is somewhat thinner and easier to see through, and seems to come off MUCH easier with water or with Windex.
Speaking of Windex, I have found that this seems to be a good solution for cleaning up liquid masks, but I have also begun applying future between paint coats to seal the paint.
At this point I would have to give the Ambroid Liquid Mask high marks for masking canopies, with the only down side being that it is much thicker & more bluish when dry, so be careful when cutting the frames out.
For the masking of larger areas I am liking the Micro Mask product, which seems to clean up a bit easier with warm water or a little bit of Windex cleaner.
If anyone has any other ideas to share, I welcome any and all suggetions. The above mentioned ones are all good from my experiences and tries at them.

Mate,
Maybe try something different to mask - if you're using one particular product and it gives you a hard time, instead of fighting with the stuff everytime you use it, try something else.
I"ve sung the praises of Bare Metal Foil for masking canopies and Tamiya tape for fuselages for many years.
They're simple, work very well, are easy to use, and are very effective.
Why not give them a go?

Here are a few things that worked for me.

1.) After painting cut slight along the masked area, this will seperate the paint on the masking medium and the paint on the model. Happened to me a few times that I pulled of the masking medium and paint on the kit along the medium also lifted.

2.) Don't PULL the medium of it, rather try to roll it of the kit working from the edges of the masked area inwards.

3.) Masking fluid should be applied in multiple layers, especially the clear one as you can't see missed spots easily.

Hope this helps somehow.

Thanks for the ideas. I am giong to try the "duct tape of modeling" this afternoon and see, but I am thinking that a coat of future might be just what is needed. I will pass my findings along later this evening.

Thanks

Future is the duct tape of modeling!

NGC,
That is a pretty good thought. I am snowed up again today, so I will give it a try and see what results I have, but that makes sense, and we all know that Future fixes everything, right?
Thanks

Here's an idea (mind you coming from a complete amateur who hasn't even tried this) After your first coat of acrylic, or just befor you are to lay down the next color plus mask, try spraying with future.

You would get that glossy finish that the mask should easily pull away from.

I haven't tried alcohol yet, but water didn't seem to help at all. I am using acrylic paints over an enamel primer, so we will see what happens.

Thanks

Try soaking in water? Alcohol? Be careful not to strip your paint if you use alcohol...
