157026 80-400-4 H20 Masking Liquid, 1 Quart, Clear

I am not the best painter, but this product makes everyone that much better. My cousin told me about it. I used to tape and paint would always seep under making my windows look horrible. This time for my sidelights and transoms it came out perfect. It is easy to apply. You just paint it on your Windows and trim, let dry and then with a blade trace out the edges and peel. The can I thought was expensive, but you only use a little, so I can do do many more jobs in the future with it.

This is a marvelous product. Eliminates the need for taping glass doors & windows when painting to keep paint off the glass. Peels off easily, (put enough on), any residual slides right off with a razor. Gives smooth edges where glass meets the frame because you cut along the edges before you pull off the film.

Product is easy to use and does what they claim. I had a framed mirror that I used this on. I wanted to change the color of the frame. The application was easy enough. Make sure if you accidently touch the edge of your painting surface with this product that you wipe it down really well before painting. It goes on white and dries clear. I just ran a straight edge razor around the edge of the masking liquid and pulled up and off.

I was really scared to try it but this was awesome and made it really easy to paid our double does with 30 small panes of glass? I will say it’s not perfect but all in all it’s pretty great!

I seldom write reviews, but I'm such a big fan of this product that I had to. I had to paint both sides of two doors and a clean paint job is very important to me. Each door had 10 glass panes, so I was looking at masking 40 panes of glass across both doors to get the straight lines that I wanted. That sounded beyond tedious with painters tape, so I went looking for alternatives and found this masking liquid. Applying the product was easy. After light sanding of the existing paint, I wiped it down and then applied 2 coats of the masking liquid around the edge of each pane using a cheap paint brush. I tried a single coat as a test, but found that it didn't remove as easily as I had hoped. The second coat of masking liquid completely resolved that. The masking remained on the windows for 2-3 weeks as I worked through primer and multiple coats of paint. When the project was completed, I set about removing the masking and couldn't be more pleased with the end result. The paint lines around the glass are completely straight and the masking removed easily from each pane in one piece. It did leave a slight residue on the glass, but that was removed easily with glass cleaner. In the end, this product saved time, provided great results and was significantly easier to apply than painters tape. Highly recommended!

great, made painting our window trim easy, it is harder to peel off in the cold, but scraping made it come off easy, in the heat it peeled off no problem

I didn't know what to expect, but I read lots of the reviews. What I took away was don't be stingy with the masking. Put it on thick and multiple coats. Let it dry, overnight worked perfectly.

This is an incredible product. It really deserves a 10 star - no lie. I bought it for a house we are flipping where the windows are brown from 1960's and we had to paint every window in the house with several coats of both KILZ and also paint. I needed a fast way to apply this product and get to painting so this is what I did to save time. I poored it in a plastic pan liner. I used a $2 rectangle shaped applicator from home depot that has a foam handle and has a soft bottom that is soft. I applied this product to each pane fast with a UP, LEFT DOWN, RIGHT, UP LEFT DOWN RIGHT 2 or 3 times around each panel not really making it perfect if it went on the wood a little. I did make sure I added too much not too little. Applying first coat and waited 45 minutes with fans on and applied a second coat - a HEAVY coat just heavy enough that it wouldn't run. I only applied the second coat to the outside border not to the center of the glass area so much. The next day I sprayed the glass and frame over the day with several coats and the day after it was time to remove. I cut with a razor blade box cutter a clean simple perfectly scored 4 lines on the outside edge so that when I pealed it off it would be exactly where I wanted it to peal and it worked perfectly. It is important to score the corners perfectly where you want it to peal away. NOT only does it work perfectly but it cleans the windows also which was huge perk for me as these were gross. Now, I had a not so brilliant idea to use elmers glue to see if it would work as well and let me tell you NO it does not work at all. We ended it scraping it all off the hard way and it was terribly stuck on the glass so take our lesson and do not try that ! I bought 2 quarts and it did the whole house, 2 heavy coats on all glass panels as explained above. Hope this helps others. This saved me SOOOOOO much time on this project and the finished perfectly cut lines made it look so nice when done. The extra that I did not worry about getting on the wood just painted perfectly and is not noticeable in the end.
