Works pretty well so far. Nice that it's blue so's you can see it.
	If you can keep your Head while all around you are losing theirs.... Maybe you've underestimated the situation.

I have tried the VMS masking fluid and found that dries/sets way too fast. You get a skin forming very quickly and you can't get it on cleanly because of this .

Only took me 7-8 minutes to do two coats. I had no problem with it drying to fast. Plenty of time to get each area covered no sweat.

I can't give helpful advice on this subject but I like it, particularly the blue cockpit screen.

For some reason I just can't get the fever for it. It will return in the future. So it's back on the M1070.
