hooknladderno1 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Several years ago, I bought a few rolls of Parafilm M. Now, I am finally thinking about using them. Is it safe to use Model Master enamels and lacquer paints with, or should it only be used with water based paints Thanks. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peebeep Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've used enamels thinned with cellulose (lacquer if you prefer) over Parafilm without any problem. peebeep Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, if you leave the film on for a while is will become stiff and hard to take off but it will still come off, just may take a little bit more effort that's all. It did not do any damage so don't worry about that, just letting you know that it may take a little extra effort to take it off after you paint.

Huey Gunner Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Been useing the same roll now for about 15 years without a problem. Really like the stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayscarson Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I use it for my canopies and it stays on for the painting (usually enamels) and both the clear gloss coat and dullcoat. Future also doesn't bother it as well. It works wonderfully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaronacw Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have been using it with Gunze Mr Color Lacquer paints with no problem, just be careful because the Parafilm is delicate and can be scratched off easily so check to see if there are holes in the parafilm, or you can use a second layer.
