Daniel Smith - Artist Masking Fluid (30ml)
Size: 30ml
Includes: 5x applicator tips
Watercolour masking fluid
Creates a protective barrier
Includes 5 fine-point applicator tips
Dries to a transparent caramel colour
Ideal for fine details, this artist-quality masking fluid from Daniel Smith comes complete with 5 additional fine-point applicator tips.
Applying in an off-white tone that dries to a transparent caramel colour, protect your surface from watercolour washes with an impervious barrier that remains visible without becoming intrusive.
Once dry, this can be rubbed off with your fingers or a rubber silicone applicator (such as this set from Pro Arte).
Instructions
No need to shake as the latex mixture does not easily separate, instead, gently roll the bottle once or twice across a table instead.
Gently squeeze the bottle to start the flow & release a bead of fluid.
Move the bottle across your surface & allow the capillary action to draw out the fluid as you outline and fill in the desired space.
Between applications, aid the flow & prevent bubbles forming by storing the bottle upside down in a small glass.
Be sure to replace the snap-top lid when you're finished with your work.
Prevent clumping or clogging by thoroughly rinsing the applicator tip immediately after use (pro tip: save & fill your empty bottle with water to flush the tips in future).
Dried fluid can be peeled from inside applicator tips or removed by using a fine needle.
Be sure to allow the masking fluid to dry fully before painting over it.
Also allow surrounding paint to dry before removing your barrier.
