<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;"> Winsor & Newton Permanent Masking Medium</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">A non-removable, transparent liquid mask, this medium is excellent for detail. It can be applied directly onto the paper, or mixed first with watercolors.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">Ensure that the fluid is thoroughly dry before overpainting. Wash brushes in warm, soapy water before using other colors. </SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">I've used it once or twice and it worked well for what I needed.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">I think you can also use it over a painted area to preserve that area from being painted over with subsequent washes.</SPAN></div>
