That's what I do, too, if we're talking about various fittings projecting from decks, or about places where deck meets bulkhead at a right-ish angle. I'm sure
somebody has the patience to mask around every frigging greeble on a ship's deck, but that somebody sure isn't me. I build full-hull models, though, so I need a nice, clean, straight division between the anti-fouling paint below the waterline and the normally visible colors above. I'll give de-tacking a try first, and add a jar of primer to my next hobby shop order. Thanks.
