Is there some sort of spray glue that will stick down a paper masking template on an external surface? Just sort of make it tacky? I want to camo my axle tubes and need multi layered masks at different stages.

Mounting spray will do it, or cut them from a low tack vinyl ( sometimes called paint mask)!

Thanks for the info guys. I'm finding the ordinary aerosols have too much pressure and the mask is lifting because of this . A airbrush is too expensive for such a small job ,so Im going to have to try a less intricate design that doesnt involve so much masking. Ive ordered some fineline tape and Im going to have a play around to see what I can come up with.

I got some masking sheet that was sticky backed from a hobby store. It had a grid on the back to help you plan out what you were doing. I was rubbish at it but the sheet worked well. Would something like that do what you need?

It was ne of the big hobby chain stores, is it Hobby Craft
