  • advice please looking for masking vinyl?

    Posted by ttj designs on October 1, 2004 at 3:43 pm

    Hi all,

    The good lady indoors is a bit of a budding air-brush artist…. she has just spent all her pocket money on a load of gear that included some small paint masks. These looked very much like etched or frosted effect vinyl, but were very low tack, unlike the traditional vinyl gear. Has anyone got any ideas what this may be? or where I could get something like it? 😕

    Potential to score mega brownie points if I can make her masks in-house! :clap2: ……. and save the wallet from global melt-down! 😥

    I have got some of the MacMask green gear but the adhesive is a little to strong for this application.

    Cheers

    …sounds like regular MacMask to me (which I don’t like)
    I use Cal-Mask from Calon/Arlon….cuts and weeds well,
    with no adhesive reaction problems like I got with the Mac.
    Love….Jill
