[TheForge] Gummy plastic coating for augers, etc.?

[Bruce .]

The idea was to mask some non-flat parts during spray-painting.  Think,
"masking tape in 3 dimensions."

At issue is that it MUST be easily removable, and if it gets on the wooden
(or other) parts to be painted it must not leave a residue that would
prevent paint from sticking.  For the latter reason, I'm veering away from
wax- and oil-based products.  It would be best if it "skinned over" and
didn't remain gummy or wet on the surface.

Rubber cement has been suggested, but the solvents in that can destroy
existing plastic and paint, so that won't do.  Right now I'm leaning toward
an aqueous gum.  Imaging painting very thick Jell-O onto the part to be
protected.  Not an ideal solution, but better than some.

This is a rather low priority and I put it out mainly to see whether there
was an easy solution available.  If I come up with no ideas, no big deal.
