One of the slickest horizontal masking methods that I have seen. Check it out.

It still is a very clean and simple method for masking. I agree that it is not a matter of simply attaching a mask. There will be a lot of trial and error.

There is a HUGE amount and still it never worked well, all sorts of drama. If it was so successful we would see a thread running thats up to date, that one is old. The video does look good, give it a go and see how you get on, please report back with your findings?

If I install an electric I will try it, but currently I am leaning toward buying a manual Dalite HP screen and cut out the material to attach to a DIY fixed frame.
