    Hi Tara, Others have mentioned nail polish, epoxy, etc., which work
    well, but when you need to tape something off I have found that the
    thin, plastic tape like the post office uses with it's priority mail
    works very well.  It is quite thin, so you it doesn't interfere much
    when you are working with an intricate, 3 dimensional surface, and
    you can get very clean lines as well. It is a little bit finicky to
    work with, as it will tear, but with can it can be a useful addtion
    to your masking tool box (I will sometimes use 2 or more different
    masks in one piece, so no one mask does it all).  Good luck! 

Best regards,
John
