Daywalker Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I had this happen to me in the past, main reason I stopped using vinyl for masks. I paint with Tamiya acrylics, so like you said the straight up IPA won't work. The only thing that worked for me was a VERY gentle sanding with some ultra fine sanding pads, can't remember which one I used but I think it was either 3000 or 4000 grit. blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denders Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I've been using Artool Ultra Mask. It's very similar to 810 but I've not had problems with residue. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Hrmmmm that is odd. I've got a gigantic roll of Oramask 810 and have cut a lot of it up to 8"x11" sections and have never had that issue. I did used to have that issue with the black canopy masks that came with some of the Montex sets. Honestly I've not had that issue with any Oramask 810 sheets I've used even away from the big roll I currently have. I think you may have gotten a bad batch/some bad 810. blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Karl, try a little bit of WD40 on a cotton bud to remove the residue. It won't harm acrylics, but isn't really safe with enamels. It works for me in removing residue from Bare Metal Foil, but I only ever use it on canopies. Not sure how it would go on the actual camouflage paint, or how you would remove its residue!

Oramask does work well for me, but there are definitely situations where I think Kabuki tape would work much better. My recent Cobra comes so mind with it's raised rivets.

MikeMaben Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Might try warm water with a good dose of dishsoap. blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
