Formulated for use on hard-sized watercolour papers, photographic surfaces, and similar media, it creates a waterproof barrier that you peel or rub away when your paint layer is dry. The vibrant colour helps trace where you've masked, and the 35 ml jar keeps a compact, refillable supply at hand. Made in the USA and labeled to conform with ASTM D4236, it contains natural rubber latex — read the cautions if you have latex sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I apply this frisket so masked areas stay crisp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply Miskit with a synthetic or natural brush, ruling pen, or masking applicator while the surface is dry and clean. Work steadily: the fluorescent orange lets you track coverage, and thin coats avoid cracking when removed. Allow the fluid to dry fully before watercolour washes to prevent bleeding under the mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrush or pen application for controlled lines and shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThin, even layers reduce peeling or flaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry completely to guaranteed resist of subsequent washes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemove gently by rubbing or peeling once paint is cured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this frisket damage paper or photographs when removed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen used as directed on hard-sized watercolour paper and compatible photo papers, the frisket pulls away without tearing or lifting the paper fibres.
