i did a search and found a lot of my question answered but still have a bit more. I was working on a poinsettia using Yupo and Comart paint. I want crisp edges from leaf to leaf and at first used tracing paper to cut masks for the individual leaves. I have a metal sheet on my table and use magnets to hold the piece and the masks. All went pretty well but I was having some fit up issues and I had a couple go south where the paint stuck to the mask under the magnets. I think the paint was "dry". So I got some Frisket, the gloss one, and thought that would help with the fit up issues since the Frisket is big enough to cover the whole piece.
The piece had been setting over 2 weeks in Florida so should have been as dry as it's going to get. I covered it with Frisket, cut out a couple pieces, and removed about a third of the paint when I lifted it off. bummer
I gather matte is less sticky than floss? I also didn't un-sticky it on my pants or arm first, another mistake.
Unresolved question is, using ComArt on Yupo maybe the paint doesn't really bond well?? I did clean the Yupo well with alachol before starting, and the temp here is around 80F and low humidity (AC works). I liked the Tupo because it scratches great but actually for this piece I don't really need it to. Any thoughts???
