Merci pour cette belle démonstration !

Astuce, perso, je n'enlève pas les masquages avant d'avoir appliqué la dernière couche et je les enlève avant de ferrer quand je viens d'appliquer la dernière couche dans l'angle puisque j'ai réhumidifié l'ensemble mais je le fais avec un aspirateur pour pas que les débris ne tombent et salissent mon travail.
