So while playing around on YouTube, I stumbled upon an interesting product that is touted for laser marking but looks like it could be useful for masking when doing cnc work. A site called laserbits has a product called liquamask [http://www.laserbits.com/laser-supplies/liquamask.html](http://www.laserbits.com/laser-supplies/liquamask.html) it is a bit pricey but looks like it would last awhile. Searching for more info, I came across the owners post on a wood working forum and he had this to say; “The down side to the LiquaMask is the drying time and that it is not recommended for bare, uncoated wood. Customers have reported major reductions in drying time by using a fan, not heat, to dry the liquid coating. As for bare uncoated wood, there is not a great solution for that right now but our team has been working a special formulation for this application.” [LiquaMask](http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?164472-LiquaMask) The same thread was comparing liquamask to this product which is cheaper.
