I thought you meant plain old rubber cement. I have myself tried some
half-dozen miskits, friskets, maskoids, and liquid masks of many colors,
prices and claims. All were, for my purposes, odious. Hard to apply, they
gummed up the brush after the first stroke. If left on too long they
stained the paper, but on shiny paper tended to come off by themselves,
before they were supposed to, on soft paper they would take the top layer
of paper off with them. In no respect were they as easy to use & effective
as plain old rubber cement. OK in one respect -- you can see where the
substance is applied.. I've often thought of stirring some kind of dye
into rubber cement, which might solve that problem. Has anyone done that?
