Molotow Grafx Art Masking Liquid Pump Marker - 2mm Fine Nib

Easier to use than a bottle of masking fluid, and more convenient to use too. I like that it’s blue so you can clearly see where you’ve masked. I guess for very delicate masking, a brush might be more accurate - it’s difficult to mask a very small area with this but it’s perfectly adequate for eye highlights. I think it’s quite expensive compared to bottles of fluid but you get what you pay for. I also like the fact that it was easy to remove with a Maskaway eraser/ rubber cement block, and didn’t damage the surface of my paper. Good stuff!

Love it. You can easily see the liquid (unlike other brands). Does a good job and am having fun using it to write sentiments on cards that I then watercolour. Superb results. Crisp edges.

Best masking fluid pen I’ve used. Very easy to use and doesn’t rip the paper when rubbing it off.

Very simple and straight forward to use. The experience was similar to using a correction fluid pen in some ways.Shake pen. Pump nib to start flow. Write/draw where you want the masking to be. Allow to dry (a minute or two, like correction fluid). Go over with other media (watercolours, markers, etc). Allow media to dry. Rub off mask with finger.I used an eraser to rub off the mask after using alcohol markers and it came off very easily with no paper damage (copier paper) at all, and left a sharp clean edged mask. (If I rush and don't let the media or masking fluid dry properly it could have very slight edge bleed)The pen is 2mm width, so like a correction pen in many ways, but with liquid masking fluid. The masking fluid 'ink' is light blue, so it is very easy to see where you have applied it on the paper, for later removal.Very versatile, and allows for easy rendering over highlighted areas, blocking out objects for background rendering, etc.Wish they had this years ago when I had to cut complex airbrush masks! Makes masking unbelievably easy!

The first few times I used it, it tore the paper when I tried to get it off (not too much of a problem, but not what I would expect). I researched for tips on how to use it properly, and ignoring all the tips I found, I had better success if I didn't let it dry, painted around it, and removed it as soon as possible then I wouldn't have the paper tearing experience. Also if I didn't shake but only pumped that would be far better too.Having to paint around it and avoid washing over it seemed a little pointless, but in fact, it was better than trying to go around a small area. I have got OK with it generally but I won't be buying it again and I am not recommending it for watercolour painting.The experience tends to greatly depend on the paper being used. Be sure to patch test it using the same paper and paint (and length of time before removal) before using it on your final artwork.I hadn't used it for a little while and found it had clogged up. I managed to get it going again but it's now leaving a faint blue pigment on the page (not great!) which again I can probably get around. But I never had these problems with the bottle of liquid latex which actually served us well for about 20 years.

I am disappointed extremely with the Molotow masking pen. If it is left on water colour paper for longer than about an hour it is almost impossible to remove. I have blocked out areas with the pen at the beginning of a painting twice. The first time I got to the stage where I could take off the masking fairly quickly but there were still areas where I could not remove the 'Molotow' pen marks. The second painting took longer. There are areas where it has been impossible to remove the masking fluid. This means I have had to abandon the painting and start again. I usually use the 'Goya' masking pens, but they were not available in fine pens, so I purchased the 'Molotow'. I will not buy the 'Molotow' pens again. I will return to the 'Goya' pen, despite only being able to buy them in minimum quantities of five.

Why did I not discover this masking liquid before now? I have tried many different brands of liquid masking but none of them have performed as well as the Molotow Grafx Art Liquid Pump Marker. I have used it on many different types of plastic, resin and metal surfaces with equally superior results. I will definitely be purchasing more of these pens.

Although this can be used in many different art and craft projects, I use this liquid masking pen in cardmaking.This item is perfect for using to mask small images by painting over the item. The colour is blue so it is easy to see where you have masked after you have applied it.You can then continue and cover the rest of the page with paint or other mediums and then peel off the masking area that you covered using this pen. You will then be left with the item exactly as it was and the masking liquid peels off properly. This is particularly good if you have already coloured in your stamped image and then decide that you want to cover the entire page with a background colour after you have already coloured in your image but don't want your image covered. It is also handy if you only want a part of an image masked.

I have used this products with my armor models...and it works great, much easier then using masking tape or other masks products on the market...a must have for modelers. I bought this on the recommendation of Andy at Andy's hobby headquarters

It is so easy to use and let's me mask really fine areas. Plus I don't have to ruin any brushes

Ho letto recensioni sia positive che negative e capisco entrambe.Ho fatto numerose prove e mi sento di lasciare alcuni consigli per usare al meglio questo prodotto.Come già suggerito da altri, una volta applicato, va fatto asciugare completamente prima di rimuoverlo, altrimenti potrebbe staccare anche pezzi superficiali del foglio.A parte questo, credo sia ancora più importante fare attenzione a non sovrapporre diversi strati di fluido, ma fare una sola passata. Inoltre, è bene non lasciare la patina per troppo tempo sul foglio dopo che si è asciugata.Con questi accorgimenti è sufficiente una passata con una normale gomma per matita e la maschera si rimuove facilmente.

Funciona perfectamente. Es suficientemente fino como para ser preciso aunque para marcar detalles muy pequeños sería necesaria una punta más fina. Es fácil de quitar con una goma de borrar. En alguna ocasión se ha roto un poco el papel, pero creo que tiene más que ver con que el papel usado era de baja calidad.

La pointe de ce stylo de masquage ne permet pas de traits précis et fins car le liquide dessèche très vite et ensuite fait des taches plutôt que des traits. Aucun intérêt à part son côté pratique. Lorsqu’on l’enlève, il laisse des traces bleutées. Il vaut mieux acheter un flacon et utiliser une plume. Cela permettra plus de précision et de finesse.
