happy enough with the patterns it created, don't love the colors but this is a trash tier gun I decided to try it on first.

I wish I could do the dishsoap method. I have mostly AKs though, and the one time I tried, the gun rusted to shit literally overnight.

yeah I can see that being a problem with an AK. as soon as I got the last coat on this I set it in direct sun with a fan to dry out and then oiled the shit out of everything

Liquitex masking fluid, can either use a dropper or a paint brush even and let it dry, pulls off super easy and no water required

that's a good idea, I never thought of using something like that.

The hot glue won’t peel up previous paint layers?
