I bought some Lacomit to mask off areas of bits for gold plating. Is it just me or is this stuff the worst?! It's like really badly behaved nail polish.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm dipping a fine brush in the Lacomit then applying to the piece, but the Lacomit seems to turn the texture of jam in seconds, rendering it entirely unpaintable.
This is what I spent bloody forever doing last night:
8375
Is there some kind of knack to this stuff that is eluding me? Is there a better stop out varnish? I tried using regular nail polish but it doesn't adhere well to the metal, takes forever to dry and chips off easily.
