Model Masking Tape & Masking Fluid – Clean Lines and Protected Surfaces
Masking products are essential for any painter who wants crisp, clean dividing lines between colours — whether you're painting two-tone armour, camouflage patterns, hazard stripes, or protecting a base coat while airbrushing. Low-tack masking tape conforms to curved surfaces without lifting previous paint layers, while masking fluid can be painted on in any shape and peeled away cleanly once the overlying colour is dry.
Loaded Dice stocks a range of masking products in our Barry, South Wales shop and online at loadeddice.uk, including low-tack hobby masking tape in various widths, masking fluid, and Blu Tack for quick and flexible masking applications.
Frequently Asked Question
Hobby masking tape is used to create clean, straight dividing lines between paint colours — for example when painting two-tone armour, panels, or camouflage. Low-tack tape is essential so it doesn't lift previously applied paint when removed.
Standard masking tape is generally too sticky and can lift paint from miniatures. Hobby masking tape and Tamiya masking tape are specifically low-tack and safe for use directly on painted plastic surfaces.
Masking fluid is a liquid masking medium that can be painted or applied to any shape before airbrushing. Once dry, it is peeled away to reveal clean edges underneath. It is ideal for organic shapes that tape cannot cover.
Basecoat and seal the first colour, then apply masking tape along the dividing line, ensuring edges are pressed firmly down. Apply the second colour, remove the tape immediately while still slightly wet, and clean up any bleed with the first colour.
Yes — Blu Tack is widely used for quick masking of curved surfaces, especially when airbrushing. It is low-tack, reusable, and conforms easily to any shape.
