well I made the mistake of using my airbrush to spray on the liquid mask film stuff, and now I have a bunch of overspray in places I really didnt want it lol. I have been using isopropyl alcohol and a fleece cloth to try and remove it from the areas I dont want it. It is too thin to try and remove as you would normally by peeling. I don't want to have to use more through the airbrush to thicken th ecoats, casue that would be wastefull. I am wondering if there might be an easier and faster solution for removal of the overspray? I have my masks cut now and dont really want to remove everything and start over again, just the areas I need to paint white now lol.

try using masking tape to help lift the mask you don't need. I've been able to do this when I didn't apply enough LM.

THX. tried it and that wouldnt work so I tried some good duct tape, and well that didnt work :( guess I am giong to have to learn from this mistake, strip it ALL down and NOT use the airbrush to apply this stuff again.

Rubbing alcohol.
That was the first thing I grabbed. it is leaving like a haze that has still a small smount of the masking film with it. just gonna have to bite the bullet and redo it, just with a BRUSH this time around.

I used it to remove the LM. Then used it to remove the haze. It took a few cleanings.
