Product Description

DANIEL SMITH Watercolor Masking Fluid is easy to use with the bottle applicator, the included 5, fine-point applicator tips or with an inexpensive brush. Masking Fluid makes an impervious barrier to protect your watercolor paper and preserve the white areas by blocking watercolor washes from flowing into areas you don’t want leaving crisp, clean edges. DANIEL SMITH Masking Fluid applies as an off-white color and dries to a transparent caramel color so that you can see it while working, and still be unobtrusive while working on your painting. After Masking Fluid has dried, easy to remove with a rubber cement pick-up or even with your clean fingers. Be careful though, about leaving oils from your fingers when rubbing off the dried Masking Fluid, as oils from your fingers can interfere with new applications of watercolor. Once the Masking Fluid had been removed, either keep the white areas white or add fresh watercolor onto the preserved white area to retain maximum watercolor luminosity. Tip: Don’t shake the Masking Fluid, as this may cause air bubbles that will get into the applicator tip and transfer into your Masking Fluid line. Our Masking Fluid does not need shaking because our latex mixture does not easily separate. If you feel you need to mix, then gently roll your bottle once or twice across your table. When applying, gently squeeze the bottle to start the flow of Masking Fluid out the applicator tip. Also, keep the bottle inverted so that the capillary action once started continues to flow and rinse out the applicator tip immediately after using to prevent clogging when it dries. To remove Masking Fluid, use a Rubber Cement Pick-up rather than your fingers to avoid getting oil from your fingers onto your watercolor paper.

Customers like the ease of use of the liquid ink. They mention that the array of tips make it easier to apply to small details. That said, some complain about the quality of the product. They say that it's a thick, goopy mess that dries out of the side of the screwed on cap. Opinions are mixed on performance.

76 customers mention22 positive54 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the masking fluid. They mention that it's a thick, goopy mess, and it starts dripping out of the side of the screwed on cap. The paint bleeds beneath the mask and takes the paper off with it. Customers also say that the product is terrible and aggravates them.

"...Also if you get your canvas too wet, it starts to come off." Read more

I bought this for that watercolor piece of a whale shark. It worked great and was very satisfying to peel off. Takes about 20 minutes to dry, that's pretty standard.
