Alclad II are awesome. Testors Metalizers not so much. Both go down easily but Alclad II dries harder. I've heard Testors rubs off easily and can't be masked over. How is Alclad II in this regard? The Testors Metalizers rub off easily. The Alclad is tougher and can be masked over. I use Tamiya tape...

It does. I just make sure the Futures dries for a couple of days before I apply the washes.
