ReccePhreak Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I was searching for a source to replenish my Bob Dively liquid masking film, but a number of locations say it is discontinued. Is that really the case? If so, what do you all recommend to replace it? Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Wow, I hope not....great stuff.... Would also like to know answers to both! 😦 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck1945 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Looks as though Bob Dively Models had a major fire two years ago and is permanently closed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Yep, very sad to hear, hope all affected are back on their feet.  So, what's the next best liquid mask? I've tried one major brand in the past and found it to be total rubbish, unusable.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck1945 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I’ve tried a couple of art supply store latex masking liquids (Winsor-Newton and Grumbacher), both were rather fragile IMO and, at least for me, not suitable for model masking purposes. I do have the Gunze NEO masking stuff but had switched to the Bob Dively fluid because it was more workable. Debating ordering this  but haven’t bought it yet. What brand did you find was total rubbish Andrew? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ReccePhreak Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 We need something that, besides going on well, can be cut to fit with a sharp (New?) #11 Xacto or scalpel blade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maydaypc Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 For this purpose, I'm using white wood glue. If you use it straight from the bottle, after it dries you can easily peel it off. You can thin it with water and applied it to the surface with brush. I've used this in my tank model, because it is difficult to mask tank surface with small pieces. I got them broken each time. Applying thinned white glue is easy at least for me. After you finished paint job, wait the paint cure and get your part under running water and brush away white glue. So easy, So cheap. No adverse effect so far. Good for canopy masking too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â That sounds good. I'll have to give it a try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
