thanks guys... and since this thread has already been made... whats the best way to use this stuff? do i just brush it on were i need it and then paint, then peel it off?
 
You don't have to buy "real" masking fluid. I used mustard for some of my parts and you can also use tooth paste or similar.
 
ok i was ready to go and when i opened it (after shaking) it was hard and squishy, but i couldnt pierce it... not sure what to do
 
well that really sucks... it was the last one micheals had :/ maybe this wont get done for christmas, i dont really feel like using mustard or toothpaste
 
yeah , that happen to me i left it in the garage in the summer and when i went to use it well it was harden , the best thing to do is to keep it in your basement if u have one
 
Mustard stains.

I used mustard and it worked quite well for me.no mustard stains and no hot dog smells :lol: it depends HOW you use it and HOW much of it. And as a fact: after weathering and black washing you won't see if it was done with mustard/tooth paste or with more expensive "original" masking fluid. Or long said short: It doesn't really matter WHAT you use, but HOW. But that's my personal experience ;)
