Is Bob Dively liquid masking film discontinued?


Recommended Posts

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?

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?

Microscale's "Micro Mask". 

Definitely need some alternative....

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.

That sounds good. I'll have to give it a try.
