Micro Mask

Doesn't smell like ammonia, but it is definitely latex.

Ended up hand painting the seats and they came out pretty good. Got a decent result applying the Abteilung 502 liquid mask to the ends of this muffler with a toothpick. That allows me to be accurate enough so that trimming with a knife isn't needed, and the stuff comes off very easily. Only remaining problem is that if I use a brush for larger areas I can't clean the stuff off the brush. I emailed Abteilung 502 and they said to use acetone. That doesn't work at all. Neither does laquer thinner. Two brushes in the trash so far. I'm using q-tips until I find out what will clean the stuff from a brush. Anyone know?

I can only speak for the Vallejo mask.  When I use it I frequently dip the brush in a water/Sunlight dish soap mix.  The key word is "frequently" - if you don't do it as such it will dry up quite quickly.

Yeah it's definitely latex.  When it's put on properly it's great stuff, and comes off the parts easy with no residue.
