So I ordered some silly putty online because I couldn't find any in the stores, but I wasn't going to waste the weekend I had to paint. I used soft super sculpey, which pretty much resembles silly putty, as a masking material instead. It's not working out so well though. I've already completely ruined a paint job on these shoulder pads, so I gotta re-do those. On another part that was kind of tricky I made sure to seal off the black before I masked it to do the yellow, and then I took off the clay. There was a little bit of clay still stuck to the finished black paint which I tried to get off using a loop tool but it just smeared it around and now I have this little bit of clay residue on my finished paint job that I can't get off.
So my question is if anyone knows of a solvent that will remove clay on top of paint without damaging the painting surface? Probably a long shot, but I really really don't want to re-do this piece.
