Hi, I asked this question on the general discussion but I got no answers. I need some liquid mask for tiny clear parts and I'm using acrylic paint. I've heard some don't work for water-based paint since they're water soluble. What are some brands you have had good luck with and not too involved with getting it peeled off?
I've been using Micro Mask by MicroScale Decals with acrylics for about 5 years now, haven't had a problem yet.
Here you can find an old thread from here discussing the subject. The fellow "Doog" is gone now, but he's an experienced modeler. Apparently he hates Micro Mask, and offers some alternate solutions. I've never experienced the problems he describes.
Edit: sorry, the second hotlink will not insert correctly. Here's the link:

Hi thanks for the reply you're the winner! The only suggestion I got (surprised me), but looking at the description it claimed it shouldn't be used with acrylic. Not always accurate claims. So I ordered Mig Liquid Mask and I'll be posting results and I thank the member that replied with their suggestion!

I have never found any that worked, so I quit trying.
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

Sorry, can't make link hot. Anyone know how to do that? The link button in the toolbar doesn't seem to work.

On the bench: A diorama to illustrate the crash of a Beech T-34B Mentor which I survived in 1962 (I'm using Minicraft's 1/48 model of the Mentor), and a Pegasus model of the submarine Nautilus of 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas fame.

It's sort of hit and miss. It works.....sometimes. Sort of. Sometimes not. You're not doing anything wrong.
LonwuffHi thanks for the reply you're the winner!
You're welcome.
Will my prize be in the mail, then?
But seriously, if you think about it, let us know how you get along with the Mig. He has a fine line of products, IMO.
Hi, your prize is in the mail! Lol. I tried the Mig and it's great stuff (at least protecting clear parts) It comes off easy too and doesn't smell bad. I'll send Mig the same prize I sent ya.
