Product overview

Camouflage Elastic Putty is a reusable mask for laying out soft, irregular airbrush patterns that are awkward to cut from tape. Shape it around curves, panel lines and small raised details to define splinter shapes, blotches and other organic breaks. The black surface gives a clear view of every protected area against a primed or part-painted model, so gaps are easier to spot before spraying. This is a masking tool only; it is not intended to hold parts together.

Begin with a clean, dry surface; warm and shape the putty in your fingers, press it over the area to protect, airbrush, then peel it away after the paint has dried.
Lift the mask slowly, pick out paint flakes and other debris, roll it back into a mass and close it inside the tin for storage.
Use putty for organic or curved shapes; choose masking tape for straight edges, windows and firm boundaries.
Let the paint underneath cure fully before applying a mask, and ease the putty away rather than pulling it off quickly.

Notes · Q & A

What is reusable masking putty used for?

Reusable masking putty is a soft material shaped around areas that must remain unpainted, especially irregular camouflage patterns and curved surfaces. Unlike tape, it can be rolled, stretched and repositioned to follow complex outlines. Tape is still useful for straight boundaries, windows and other areas where a flat, defined mask is easier to control.

Does masking putty leave residue, and how long can it remain on the model?

Apply it shortly before painting and remove it once the paint has dried. Do not leave it on the model for an extended period, as the material may deteriorate. The product is designed to lift without residue, but the surface should still be clean and fully prepared before masking.

How do I create a soft or sharp camouflage edge?

The shape of the putty edge controls the transition. Press the edge close to the surface for a sharper boundary; leave it rounded and slightly raised for a softer sprayed edge. Apply the airbrush in controlled passes and avoid directing heavy paint underneath the mask, which can blur the intended line.

How should I clean and store masking putty for reuse?

Lift the putty away carefully after painting, remove any dried paint flakes or loose debris, then gather it back into a clean mass. Store it in its original closed container so it remains ready for reuse. The maker gives no fixed number of reuse cycles, so no lifespan should be assumed.
