Hi.

In the past I used Tamiya acrylics, but my father-in-law owns a hobby shop and gave me the Model Master enamel paints I needed to do my current project.

I've got some vallejo masking fluid that I'm going to use to chip a winter whitewash, and I was wondering how long I should wait for the paint to cure before I try any masking?

It'll be going over a primer if that helps in the answer.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jeff


Also before you get jealous of marrying into a hobby shop, my wife worked there during university, so when I come home with $80 worth of stuff and say it costs $30, she knows thats not true.

If in doubt, wait 24-48 hours before applying the masking. Or, you could use the hairspray method.
