Tools for applying masking fluid

What's you're favourite tool for applying masking fluid?

Many watercolourist like to use an old brush. Some use a Masquepen or colour shaper. Other options include a dip pen, toothbrush, stencil brush or rolled up paper.  Another option is to build up on a old brush to end up with a unique tool that offers  a number of exciting textures.  You might also want to try applying the masking fluid with a piece of  scrunched up paper towel, plastic or foil. This option will give you the most unpredictable shapes.

It's probably best to use a variety of tools as each will provide different effects or lines. Using the tools above you can paint the masking fluid on the paper, you can draw with it, it can be splattered or flicked and it can be dabbed on.

Let your imagination flow on creative ways to use masking fluid in innovative ways.
