Schmincke Blue Masking Fluid 25ml is ready to use. You can apply the product directly on the support with the masking pen´s fine tip. If necessary, you can reduce the size of the opening using a fine metal nozzle. The opening may not be shortened or cut.
Very soft, weakly grounded textured paper types like e.g. rag paper or torchon paper are not suitable for masking techniques. After the masking fluid is completely dry, the masked picture areas can be painted over using water-colours, gouache colours or AERO COLOR® Professional. (The drying process takes between a few minutes and more than an hour depending on the thickness of the coat!)
After this coat of paint has dried properly too, the dried rubbery-type film of the masking fluid can be removed by careful rubbing with a dry and non-greasy finger (please do not pull off!). The masking film should not be left on the support for longer than two days and must be completely removed; otherwise there is a risk of yellowing of the support! The product is dilutable with water, but dries very quickly into a rubbery-type transparent film that does not dissolve in water.
Close the top tightly as soon as possible after use. The applicator tip of the masking fluid is most easily cleaned when dry using a needle. Store in a cool and dry place. Protect from frost. Individual pre-tests are required.

Masking Fluids: Liquid Frisket and Masking Pen Application and Differences
Masking Fluids are used to keep empty spaces in a picture free and to paint them over with e.g. watercolours. There are different Schmincke products for this technique: Liquid frisket in a glass as well as practical masking pens. This clip shows the application, the differences and the effect of the masking fluids.
“Brilliant shop! Wonderful, prompt and attentive service and an excellent array of products (particularly given the size of the space). I usually order online and collect in store (another excellent service) to save the risk of parking my bike outside but always enjoy a wander when I’m in town. Highly recommended!”

“I ordered 3 pads of watercolour paper and when it arrived I was amazed at the way it was packed. Bubble wrap, cardboard wrap then brown paper. As a result the paper arrived in perfect condition. Well done.”
– Graham
“So nice to have a shop not in a mall or a big impersonal space with knowledgeable helpful staff-full of all the art/craft supplies one could possibly want.”
– Halima
“I’ve only found this wonderful shop recently. I have been coming into this shop regularly since as I’m doing a few craft projects at the moment. The staff are absolutely lovely and have helped me anytime I needed assistance — even with recommendations!”
– Chantelle
“The staff were very helpful and patient and helped me get everything I needed to start traditional inking/inkwash art, which is not that common (but they had the supplies regardless). Coming from a digital background, I had very little idea about what I needed but they were very patient and kind in helping me pick out each piece of equipment.”
