I have to spray 50 wood storm windows and would like to cover the glass with a liquid window mask. I think 3m once made a product like this. Any ideas as to where I might get this product or something similar?

Yep Duron had such a product some years back. I watched the demo video on it back then, and that stuff was awesome! Guess SW would have it know.

Be very careful with what you get 3m's product Spray N mask on. If you get it on anything you are tying to paint the paint will come off as soon as it rains. I use it to protect the lifts I work from.

I've never used window mask. I'm worried that it goes on clear and I won't see the excess. Or, I'm worried that it won't cut a straight enough line. Is this true?

The product i seen used on the video was Blue in color (painters tape blue color!). Not sure if that was for the demo or what. And it was used as the wood primer and mask. The guy in the video sprayed out a set of French doors with it, then finished. And it appeared to cut and peal off the glass with ease. :notworthy:

But i suspect it might take a little playing around with to get the film coat just the right thickness.

Ever done a set of new French doors with that plastic film on the glass? Pealed away the same.

I talked to the paint store rep that gave the video to me. He claimed it would bond to wood but not glass. But i was somewhat skeptical of anything that soft and pliable being used as a base coat on something like French doors. (durability wise?)
Never got the chance to try it. But id give it a shot if a job ever came up.
Thinking it was $50+ a gallon. Which is the only reason i didn't grab a gallon to play around with.

when you spray it stay back a bit and fog it on, it doesnt spray even like paint but dont worry about its initial apearance, (dont panic) it will dry more uniformally, although not perfectly even, but thats ok. make sure its dry before you paint. Use care in scoring the glass new windows scratch easily. The stuff is the bomb, I used it on a 5 story glass walled stairway in an older factory that was converted into apartments and it was so worth it. It even cleaned the windows when I pealed them off!! As for new wood it was also good. called liqued mask from SW
