Benner Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 here's what happened ... I covered my 1/48 F-111F canopy in Future and let it dry. I'm sure it was completely dried because it was a couple of weeks before I used Maskol. Anyway, I used the mask on the canopy clear areas. I had let the Maskol sit for a day before doing what I had to. When I removed it, the clear are was about 50% fogged up. Any idea how this happened? something I'm doing wrong? How do you guys mask your canopies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricardo Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I use Tamiya's masking tape and works great. Ricardo PS: Maskol is made out mainly from latex, and latex has ammonia and ammonia may dissolve future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickeyThickey Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 It may also have stuck to/peeled off some of the Future. Something similar happened to me once, when another modeller put Gunze's liquid mask on one of my canopies. <_< I personally outline with thin strips of masking tape and fill in with Ambroid Pro-Mask, but I don't Future my canopies as I don't like the look of 'em. For flat panels (F-4, F-14, F-16 windscreen centre sections) with recessed outlines, occasionally I'll apply some cellotape and scribe around it with a straight pin, basically just running the pin around the recessed lines. Trims around the tape, leaving a perfectly masked panel, quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
