Masking powder is used to protect specific areas of a surface while applying color or other treatments. The Renesans Masking Powder mentioned in the YouTube video gives a good understanding of the products use. Here's how to use it effectively:
- Application: Apply the masking powder to the areas you want to protect.
- Drying: There's no need to wait for the powder to dry because, as the video states, it's already dry.
- Rubbing: Avoid rubbing the powder into the "tooth" (texture) of the paper. This helps maintain the masking effect.
In essence, masking powder offers a dry barrier. You apply the powder directly to the areas that need masking without needing to wait for it to dry. This contrasts with liquid masking fluids that require drying time. By not rubbing the powder in, you ensure that it remains effective as a mask.
