Liquid Mask

Can I use a liquid mask over backed up gilded areas where I want to do blending? The area in particular I want to blend is within a fine gilded line.
I recall seeing this in a pic being done. I would like to mask the area somehow safetly without pulling up the gilded outline when I go to remove the
mask. If I'm going to be taking any chances here I'll just blend within the line so as not to create any potential grief! The liquid mask is called sign strip,
otherwise known as spray lat.

Thanks, Jerry

Spray the back with two mist coats of clear shellac, then use the spraylat or other types of frisket. Clear static cling can also be used to mask off areas.

Make sure they are light coats of shellac, not like you're spray painting for coverage.

Remove the mask as soon as your painting is done. Leave it on for extended periods and you may remove more than just the mask.
