discussion Masking Fluid.

Set the line width with the screw thread, then load the pen with ink or paint and keeping the thread horizontal to the object you are drawing on, draw a line just like any other pen.

Those were the days Dave.

Started with a pencil.

Architects office first day. Practice sharpening a pencil with knife. Had to be point sharp.

Second day drawing lines. The pencil had to be rotated as you drew the line.
Kept the point round & sharp. No digging into the tracing paper as if you made
a mistake the rubbed out line would still show on the deyline (spelling) print.

Also had to make tea three times a day for 6 people. But blimey had the devil of
the time of my life. All six of us had just fun in our hearts. So very funny. The
ridiculous & stupid antics we got up to. But we still designed buildings.

Laurie,
I was looked down on because of my lack of formal drawing board experience, but that soon passed. I was the first person to be employed in the design office who had not been a company apprentice, but with my engineering background, and just having completed a years' course on Computer Aided Design I found that was no handicap! I was passed around the various sections in the DO, because, having no baggage about previous methods, I could do things that the others hadn't cottoned on to!

I am pleased it is not one of those sellotape to the head pens.

Do you just dip the pen into the masking fluid?

Edit: Just found a load of Youtube guides :smiling3:,
Don't dip the pen

No use a syringe Andrew. If you buy the pan get one with a hinge to one of the pointers. Easy to clean.
