Your masking dots are a silicone adhesive. Contact the supplier and tell them you need an acrylic adhesive on the same dots. Normally same cost and lead time.

We are using Humiseal 1B31 and polyester dots for masking. We are spraying this in a Binks sprayer mixed at almost 1:1 with 521 thinner. Whe are seeing the coating creating thin halos around the poly dots as if the dots are "rejecting" the coating. T
