A much better masking material Enthone OMI "stop-off Number 1". This material is
a green paint on polymeric compound which dries quickly and is completley
resistant to acids and bases. It is EASILY removed, and simply peels off like a
rubber sheet - no residuals. I have used the Apiezon "Black Wax" material, but
not with the same degree of satisfaction (especially upon removal - it leaves
residuals).
