Post-It labels great for masking

I don't know when these came out, but I saw a commercial the other day and picked up a couple packs at Office Max. I've used post it notes to mask before, but the sticky part is normally too small to easily mask large camo schemes. These don't have that problem. Very useful.
The best part is that there are generic ones that work just as well.

Now that is a good idea, both for what they are ment for and as masking blocks.

Masking isn't what they are meant for?
Oh.
That weird fringe community that uses stationary as office supplies kinda scares me, you know?
Does that also mean Christmas lights are supposed to go on trees instead of into the head of my Evangelion model?

Things mean different things to different people.

I like using these for making my own custom stencils, Same adhesive as post-it notes:

It's stationary. They can't move it.

And there is post-it note tape available, too. Great for punching holes in for camo etc.

I always make sure I have a couple pads of post-it notes in the airbrush desk. As soon as you don't, you'll need 'em.

Love using Post-its for masking.
