Disagree with any 5 star review. Haven painted over 280 bodies so far and (98% with Dively) I thought I would give the Italian **NEW** stuff a shot. I buy tons of mask and I am always looking to save a nickle for my paint customers. Although this stuff does work, it is no where near as well as Dively. Both apply about the same except Bitty has an odor that will choke a goat. Major hangover puke bucket flashbacks upon application. Having allowed at least 12 hours between coats I found this didn't dry evenly like Dively. The cuts were more difficult to see through the cleaver pink added color, which I found no use for (this may be the source of the odor). Bitty also did not stay planted on the shell as well as Dively. It did not allow for bleeding, but just didn't cut like Dively nor perform near as well. Now what to do with the rest of the 28 oz in my bottle.......... Still better than tape, so (2) stars only if the Dively is out of stock. Hope this helps you guys.
I'm not an expert painter, just your typical hobbyist. Anyway, I've tried this and the Bob Dively liquid mask. I have to apply a lot more Dively to get it to peel off without tearing. This peels very easily with 3 coats brushed on. To me, the odor is no stonger than Dively's. Both work. This comes off easier to me.
I think I have good sense of smell but either I didn’t smell anything major or my brain didn’t mind the smell. Works great but takes a bit of effort for how I anticipated the process to be
great product, I have a body ready to paint in 24 hours accelerating the drying process with a hair dryer, just having a bad odor!!
This stuff works!!! Not sure why people bash the odor, I have been painting for a little bit now, this stuff applies great with a brush. I usually do 3-4 coats and it peels back up perfectly, Only thing I have noticed is sometimes when doing trims and cuts in hard edges..for example pan car wings, the edge will come up and not stick to well to the body..I think this is a cause of not letting it dry as long as it should or having excess mask on the edge where it accumulates. Regardless of that most likely being user error. The mask works awesome. Will continue to use this and then some! For those who are worried about oder, bought this about a month ago from me posting this review, and they probably changed the formula because I applied it with a brush and no painting mask and I could barely notice a stench, slight smell, nothing out of the ordinary..I suggest this mask for the average painter or someone who is a professional.
Reviewers largely rate Bittydesign Liquid Mask positively, with most praising easy cutting and peeling after about three coats and good results with brush or spray application. The most frequent point of disagreement is odor: one reviewer found it strong enough to be unpleasant and compared it unfavourably with Dively, while several others said they noticed little or no smell. Some reviewers said drying took longer than expected, and one reported edges lifting on hard-edged cuts, which they partly attributed to user technique. Opinions on the pink colour and transparency differ slightly, with one reviewer finding it harder to see cuts through. Several reviewers compared it with other liquid masks and found it comparable or preferable, and one said it was a good fit for spray guns thinned for fine tips.
