Hi again, gang.

Wow! Did I get a lot of answers on that one! It almost appears that I 
should forgo the use of masking fluid as I use it so seldom, it will 
probably go "bad" between uses. The bottle I opened yesterday was 
unopened, BTW, but it had been sitting in the studio since last 
December... and who knows how long in the art store before that.

Right now the problem that I'm facing is that I want to leave many small 
patches of white to add sparkle to the piece I'm working on, but the 
background needs to be painted fast and loose, so you can see the 
problem. Oh well, if painting in w/c was easy, even fools like me could 
do it.
