    Solvent for Tippex?

    Hello

    The cluse is in the question. I know it will scrape off but there is some in some very vulnerable areas - being able to wipe it off would be preferable.

    Thanks

    I use white spirit on a cotton bud and wipe gently. Low odour thinners for oil paints do a good job as well.

        Nothing to do with your question, but the Tipp-ex roller type applicator is perfect for simulating tatty old poster backing or labels on walls etc. Scratch back some with a cocktail stick and weather with a wash and you have what passes for peeled and washed off fly posters, posters and labels.
        On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
        Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
        Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

          I was wondering about these rollers with regards to masking.
