I haven't tried this yet, but I hear its recommended and what the liquid mask is best suited for... air brushing.

yup, you can thin it out with water, run it through your air brush, and just take an x-acto knife to the parts you want cut out. Then you just peel it off.

what I have tried so far has been to paint it on using a brush.
the thicker you put it on, the easier it is to peel off.
I use it mainly on areas where masking tape isn't a good solution.

I think if I had an air brush, I'd probably use all liquid mask and never tape, unless I was taping for the liquid mask.
It doesn't leave such highly raised edges like masking tape.
no bleeding like masking tape.
it's safe to paint your wife's nipple with it.

i have used it and still do use it. the key to cutting it is to have a fresh xacto blade. otherwise when it cuts it it will kidna tear/detach the sourounding film.. it may not look like it, but you will notice after you paint and remove the mask.. also once youve painted. carefully go along the same line with the xacto to make sure that when you peel it off you dont peel the paint also.. i think this stuff is great.. it makes it a lot easier to mask off windows, and other vital areas.
