That bench shows a MINIMALLY acceptable level of DISorganization.
Any more organized and I would haveta trash it up a little bit for ya....
MY definition of a "little" TRASHIN is generally a lot more than what most consider to be a little.

It is a masking agent in liquid form. Scale modelers usually use it to mask aircraft canopies to paint the frames.Here is a link to a Microscale product. Other companies put out similar products.

How much of a mess can one make building a LPR rocket? My balsa airplanes are a different story.

You LEAVE the mess from previous LPR builds like the balsa sheet scraps and etc.
It generates an acceptable level of clutter that can be slightly cleaned/organized at a maximum of only once per SIX MONTHS.
Accept the CHAOS !
Learn it, Live it, LOVE IT !

Use the PILE method; a PILE for everything, and everything in it's PILE !

Dang! I don't go quite that far. I clean up and vacuum the bench between builds, but I always keep the balsa scraps--they have a 1001 uses.

Really now, that is still way too neat.

I'm not sure what scigs is using, but the liquid mask I've used is very much like a rubber cement (a bit thinner) that may be painted on with a brush and I "roll" it off with my finger or if you apply it thick enough, you can sometimes pull/lift it off. My experience has been that it's a bit iffy if the paint is anything but airbrushed on. I used it back in the day when I was still doing water color paintings for leaving high-lights (bare paper) in water scenes and for complex airbrush masking.

Again, perhaps scigs is not referencing that.

Nor SHOULD there be any of that GARBAGE liquid nails crapola.
Didn't see a hot-melt glue gun, rubber cement, school paste, Shoe Goo, or Seal All either.
ANY of those products will get one a MANDATORY stretch in cell block D of rocketry PRISON !
