DANIEL SMITH Masking Fluid does not need shaking because our latex mixture does not easily separate. If you feel you need to mix, then gently roll your bottle once or twice across your table.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eI like to keep my Masking Fluid upside down in a small glass when I am working with the Masking Fluid in between actually applying it. That way if there are any bubbles, they remain at the top (which is now the bottom since the bottle is upside down) and don’t get into the applicator needles.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eWhen applying, gently squeeze the bottle to start the flow of Masking Fluid out the applicator tip. Stop squeezing once you have a “bead” of Masking Fluid.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eBegin applying the Masking Fluid on to your watercolour paper and allow the capillary action to draw out the Masking Fluid as you move the applicator bottle across the paper. You may need to gently squeeze occasionally if the capillary flow is interrupted.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eKeep the bottle inverted so that the capillary action once started continues to flow. (another reason why it’s good to keep the bottle upside down in a glass when not actually applying)\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eBe sure to thoroughly rinse out the applicator tip immediately after using to prevent clogging when it dries. A good tip for rinsing out the applicator tip once you have a 2nd bottle of Masking Fluid: Is to save the empty bottle, rinse it out and fill with clean water, then place the just used applicator tip on the bottle applicator and flush out the liquid Masking Fluid by squeezing the bottle.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eIf some of the Masking Fluid does dry on the applicator, you can usually peel it off. If dried inside of the applicator, try loosening and removing with a fine needle, although most needles are not fine enough to insert into the untrimmed applicator tips.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eYou can also use a paint brush instead of the 5 tips that come with the Masking Fluid. Do not use your good brushes because all brushes will eventually get clogged up with dried Masking Fluid. Be sure to immediately rinse brush well with water.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eAllow the Masking Fluid to dry thoroughly before painting with watercolour.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eBe sure your watercolour paint is dry before removing Masking Fluid.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eTo remove Masking Fluid, use a Rubber Cement Pick-up rather than your fingers so you don’t soil or get oil from your fingers onto your watercolour paper.\u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: outside disc;\"\u003eReplace storage snap top when finished with the Masking Fluid.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Daniel Smith","offers":[{"title":"30ml \/ Ground","offer_id":48757996683493,"sku":"743162029532","price":23.18,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8585\/5205\/files\/DSWCGroundimage.png?v=1775626548"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8585\/5205\/collections\/TransGround118ml.jpg?v=1779616021","url":"https:\/\/seniorart.com.au\/collections\/daniel-smith-watercolour-ground.oembed","provider":"Senior Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
