GOLDEN QoR Watercolor Cold Press Ground, 8 oz. Jar, Professional Mediums and Grounds

I have to say that this is the best masking fluid I've ever used in 50 years. Doesn't peel off my pencil drawing. Doesn't stain. Dries a nice cream color that I can see.

Ive tried a few masking fluids and this one is the best! It can handle many different types of paper without ripping it up, no matter how many washes of paint . Depending on ur paint/pens/pencils tho, it can take some pigment off (if u put it on top of a painted/inked/penciled area). The longest ive left it on a piece is about a week and it still came up easily and without ripping or discoloring the paper. The masking fluid also doesnt separate, so theres no constant shaking required. Its a great amount for whut it costs too. Love it!

I have tried a few Masking Fluids in my day. Winsor and Newton stunk to high heck, and yellowed the pages for instance. Daniel Smith still stunk to high heck as well as the rest of the side effects from WxN. But so far I've enjoyed using QoR Masking Fluid. There's still a bit of a smell, but so long as I have a fan going in the room I'm using it, or a window open it's fine. But it does NOT leave a yellowish hue and is super easy to peel off when I'm done with it. I wouldn't leave it over night or anything like that, it's meant to be peeled off straight after you're done with a piece. So far it's worked on my cotton papers just fine- Strathmore 500 series, Strathmore Mixed Media 400 series, Etchr Hot pressed paper, and my Moleskine journal. So long as you have a good bit of ventilation where you use the masking fluid, you'll be fine. It's not 100% stink free, but it's better than a lot of the other brands out there.

I had previously used another cheaper brand of masking fluid and needed something better. I use a lot of Golden paints, so went with this Golden Masking Fluid. It works great! Easy to apply and even easier to peel off. HOWEVER, if you mask off sections that are already painted, the color partially comes off with the masking. Darn! See the color in the peels. I lost all the details and have to do it again.

Just another great product from Golden. Works beautifully for masking watercolors.

This is an excellent product to put over anything to protect it when you’re doing a paint job on other items to use quite a bit, but I don’t use it sparingly to protect some of the leads that I have on my art artwork and then I paint over it and then you just clean it off. It’s excellent. I love it.

I haven’t gotten to use the actual product but the review is more about how it arrived. Nothing looks broken but it was leaking. It is very cold out and so it may be something to consider or expect a little leakage in extreme weather conditions

I am a avid watercolor painter. I've tried many masking fluids. This is the best by far. Easy to remove, dries fast, leaves no color residue. One reviewer said it ripped her paper. It is designed to be used on watercolor paper. It has never ripped my paper. But any masking fluid can't be left in place for months. Another objected to the smell. Yes it does have a funky smell, but generally I only use small amounts of it for short periods of time and the results are worth it.
