There is a thing in hardware stores called Painter's Tape, which is <br>basically for masking off edges, easy to take back up without damage to <br>surfaces, and coming in various widths. It is cheap and easy to use.<br>pat chapin<br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.patchapin.com">www.patchapin.com</a><br><br>----- Original Message ----- <br>From: "pat davis" <<a ymailto="mailto:peedee@nucleus.com" href="mailto:peedee@nucleus.com">peedee@nucleus.com</a>><br>To: "Ximenez" <<a ymailto="mailto:ximenez@megared.net.mx" href="mailto:ximenez@megared.net.mx">ximenez@megared.net.mx</a>><br>Cc: <<a ymailto="mailto:aquanet@cleverwhiz.com" href="mailto:aquanet@cleverwhiz.com">aquanet@cleverwhiz.com</a>><br>Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 9:48 AM<br>Subject: Re: [Aquanet] thank you Cia<br><br><br>> Buenos dias, Fatima.<br>><br>> Yes, what you call masking tape is exactly what I call masking tape.<br>><br>> I think all of us have
our own favorite ways to deal with paper.<br>> Despite all the recommendations in books, I do not soak my paper before<br>> I begin to paint. This is a result of painting for years with W&N paper<br>> and finding that I did not like what soaking did to the surface. As a<br>> consequence, when I am ready to paint, I tape down the edges of the<br>> paper, and then begin. If, as I usually do, I begin with wet-in-wet, I<br>> simply brush on water and let it sit long enough so that the surface<br>> reacts like I want it to. If I don't soak and re-soak, the masking tape<br>> holds okay.<br>><br>> Perhaps if I had started with Papier d'Arches or a similar "hard" paper,<br>> I would have done things differently.<br>><br>> su amigo<br>> pat<br>><br>><br>> You wrote:<br>>> HERE IN MEXICO WE USE MASING FOR A<br>>> PINTING CAR 3M WE DONT HAVE HERE A SPECIAL MASKING ,AND WORK FOR WET <br>>>
