>>9250965>Masking Sol NeoGentle on the surface, basically 0 chance of lifting paint, thick, _cannot_ be thinned with water. If you get it on a brush, that brush is done. Masked parts can be washed in sonic cleaner.
>Masking Sol R_Really_ sticks to the surface, I think I had it lift paint once or twice, but you are more likely to damage the paint coat when you remove the mask. For that reason I would only recommend it for masking bare plastic (such as canopies). Supposedly you can cut after it dries, but I never tried. Fairly thick in the bottle, can be thinned with water. Can be brushed on and the brush can be cleaned with water. I do not recommend washing masked parts in sonic cleaner because the mask will dissolve.
Having tried both I ended up choosing Vallejo liquid mask which is similar to Neo but thinner and can be better controlled using surface tension. It is also cheaper and easier to obtain.
>mask some small rivets and boltsYou might consider using a combination of thin strips of masking tape and masking liquid for stuff like that.
