The principle is quite straightforward: as you are painting your figure or model there may be parts that you don't want to have to retouch if your brush should slip or take on a mind of its own. It is like masking tape but in liquid form.
Simply brush the Micro Mask on the dried painted area that you want to avoid getting paint on. The mask is a liquid that will turn to a rubbery type substance.
When you have finished and all the paint is dry, simply pull off the rubber mask. This will expose the painted area previously covered and the paint will be intact and no bleed over from the other colour.
Please note Micro Mask is designed to work with solvent based paints such as enamel paint, rather than water-based paints such as acrylic.
