Using Glad Press & Seal for a canopy mask
Posted by Pukindog on Friday, September 16, 2005 7:40 PM
Hi Everyone,
Has anyone tried this press and seal stuff for the masking of canopies? If so let me know how it worked out please.


Thank you,
Evolution

Would it hold that tight? If they can hold liquids you could probably use it.

hmmm... I think I have a spare nose piece off a Ju88 laying around somewhere... this might be worth the experiment... I use it to seal bottles temporarily when painting and have knocked them over with no leakage... so it might just work... I just wonder how well it would stand up to enamel though with thinner and all... if I get a chance I will check it out...

Parafilm is the main ingredient in Glad Press N Seal wrap. Wax is impervious to solvents. I have heard of many people using this method, but not everyone can get parafilm to stick on right.

It does work but I have had better results using Frisket or frosted tape.

I started using Glad Press n Seal a couple of years ago, and find it to be an excellent masking medium. It takes a little getting used to, but is easy when you get the hang of it. Burnish it with a toothpick or similar tool, and cut it with a sharp exacto blade. It's deffinately worth a try, and relatively inexpensive to boot.

Note- It will leave a residue if left on for several days or longer. If this happens, the residue can be removed with polish.
