Semroc Defender Build Part 19 Fin Can Mask Part 4

Here's one of the rounded leading edges that didn't turn out as well as the others. It seems there is always one!
This is a simple fix.

TIP: You can take your knife and carefully push the black paint back onto itself!
That is - if the paint hasn't set up. Don't try this tomorrow when the paint isn't malleable.
You aren't cutting or scraping the paint off, just push the overhanging paint line back.




I did have some tearing of the paint line on one fin.
I have been using Rustoleum 2X Painter's Touch brand paint.
It takes touch-ups very well.





TIP: For years I'd spray a bit in the plastic cap and dip the brush in that. But that paint would dry in the cap and make a mess if I had to spray in the cap a second time.

Now I turn over the top of a snack size baggie and press it into a small mixing cup. Spray into the bag and paint!
When you are done, turn the edges up, zip the bag closed and throw it away.
You can use the cup again and again.
