A much better way than flicking the spatter via toothbrush!

So today in Merriman's shop while looking for that one and only screwdriver that fits a 6-32 phillips head screw...okay, I didn't find it because somebody reorganized...but, I found THIS behind his crayon/ toothpaste/ paint collection. Had a note on it, 'Install in Moebius Seaview'...? Wonder how it's going to go 88mph and juice up 1.21 gigawatts?

**** you, Jake! And stop snooping around my shop when I'm napping!

O.K., so a slightly different way you taught me with toothpaste which was just dab it on directly with a course brush.......Are you just trying to be fancy and spray it on? I'll be your pain in the a$$ anytime wink wink LOL

That's right, Tom. Just a different application means of toothpaste masking. That and the fact that instead of sloppy brush strokes, the masking goes down as randomly sized small dots of chaotic pattern -- which was the ideal objective. The speed and ease of application is significantly better than hand-dabbing an application tool.

Now that I'm finished with this tool and have successfully practiced on the test-article, I'll start below waterline weathering on my long suffering 1/96 SKIPJACK (must be at least the 50'th I've put together over the decades)
