    For you guys that struggle with getting paint to come off...give the carbomask a try. Works good and a great guy to do business with.

    who'd a thought that a face paint thread would be so popular ... now that I've read all the responses I believe I'm going to jump on the face paint band wagon ... I like the idea of a burnt wine cork

    I found the best way to get paint off even with a little stubble is dish soap. My thinking was grease or oil based and that's what dawn or Palmolive is supposed to cut so what the heck. Worked like magic.

    I must be an oddball as I don't cover my face with anything other than some facial hair.

    It doesn't seem necessary from my own experience I guess.

    Ninjas stay warmer when it's cold, and less buggy when it's warm. More stealthy all of the time. :D

    Tried it last year. It comes off a little easier than other paints, but doesn't come all the way off without some sort of soap or wet rag.

    I like Carbomask b/c it dries and doesn't smudge, smear or wipe off. I just don't like the liquid consistancy of the product when you squeeze it out of the tube. It gets everywhere, runs down my fingers, etc. If it was thicker it's all I would use.

    From what i understand it is now thicker than it used to be. I think that was prbly a common complaint. Also the first batch i got was kinda chunky but it's made smoother now. Anyone interested check out their youtube videos. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?deskto...e.com/watch?v=04ZKvd5494I&v=04ZKvd5494I&gl=US

    I don't like face paint because it doesn't smell natural to the deer, so I always find some fresh deer droppings and smear it on my face. Give it a try and lets us know how it works for you. Trust me!

    I like the Scent Blocker 3/4 mask. It actually stops right at where I wear my hat. I have no visibility issues, and I don't have to wipe anything off when I'm done. mask.jpg

    I met this guy at the Game Fair up here: Natural Camo Seemed like a cool product, easy application, supposed to stay on all day and still come off easily later.

    Used to love the 3/4 masks but had to switch on account of glasses fogging. Will miss them when it gets cold but that's about it.
