    Spray on Masking

    We've all had mixed results with masking - It tends to work great until you laser an expensive project.
    I haven't seen this yet, but it would be a great idea - Spray on Masking. 100% surface coverage with no bubbles. Does it exist? If not some chemist could would do very well with such a product.

    Gon't know if it'll work in your situation but there is a product like this.
    In hobby shops(Hobby Lobby) they have a product called liquid mask. It's used on RC(radio control) cars to mask the inside of the lexan bodies when you paint them
    You can brush or spray on as thick as you need, then take an exacto knife and trim away the mask. It peels off pretty easy too.
