Would recommend to friends and family

Over the years I have probably tried every imaginable method of masking my paintings, ranging from liquid frisket, masking or packing tape, paper masks, water masking and this Frisket film. Much as I dislike spending much money on anything unnecessary this is a product that works.If as a watercolourist you have a large area you want to keep uncoloured and with a precise, complicated edge this does the business.(For example an outline of buildings set against a sky you want to paint in a expressive wet on wet washes that extends the whole width of the painting. Now this line can be easily transferred onto a broad section of this film with the grid allowing you to keep the verticals and horizontals true, cut with a sharp scalpel, and transferred to the paper. )There are a few of caveats for the watercolourist. Test it out on your paper first - as a rule of thumb if the paper is too soft sized to take liquid frisket this film will probably damage your paper too. The more heavily textured kinds of cold pressed or rough paper will need the film edge sealed with a line of liquid mask to get a clean edge. I turn the paper upside down to work on the unmasked area as that way it is less messy and you can use a narrower- economical- band of mask. Tiny detached areas may be more easily done with a dab of liquid frisket rather than film and I would recommend drawing out your cutting line with a pigment liner rather than pencil as wetted graphite can run and drip onto your painting.This said, I find this film indispensable for certain paintings and is something I like to have on hand for some of my landscapes and cityscapes. This is not just a product for artists using airbrushes but can be a really useful for watercolour painters too.

Really good stuff, I've found you. Need to peel off big sheets from your work slowly. It works better than frog tape on sealing edges and I've had no bleeds

Used this in applying precise and complex 'Dazzleship' paintwork to large model battleship.

Used this for my airbrush work found its not for me altho can work nice on a real flat surface and give clean lines with no bleed i found that parts are more sticky then others and seems to lift bits of paint From my airbrush work from time to time i found some bits dont want to stick some bits are over sticky and leaves residue behind would be perfect for rattle cansIf u want to draw on it u can forget it as u have to push a bit hard and if ur working on a something u have painted this can leave unwanted marks this is due to the top layer having a greasy sort of texture to itBetter for larger masking off no good for stencils in my eyes hobby craft has the same stuff and seems to be 10x better think il just use shop brought

Good quality mask, expensive but you get what you pay for. With reference to the two stars for ease of use, I use mask for airbrush art work and have done so for many years so know the score with laying, cutting and removing but for a novice a lot of practice will be required which will work out expensive but it's not worth going for cheaper brands as quality differences will cause difficulties that you will not encounter using a higher quality brand so try to start with the best and practice, you will get far better results.

Great product. Masked my airbrush art perfectly and was easy to apply. Would buy again. Great value for mono.

This is a great product. If you have coplex stencil designs. you can apply to the surface. cut disign out and peel of where you wish to paint, then when dry apply the frisket shape back to protect thepainted area and peel the next part of the design and repeat. great results.
