I am doing a hand painted cloud backdrop and using Sculptamold for a scenery base. I am trying to figure out if it is better to paint then apply Sculptamold or do the Sculptamold first. Even if I do the Sculptamold first I am up for recommendations on protecting the sky while doing the rest of the scenery, static grass, etc. Thanks in advance!

I used thin plastic styrene sheeting between the backdrop and the work I was doing and removed it before the scenery work dried, worked very well.
Do the cloud backdrop last and work from the backdrop edge in to you.

Thanks all. I like the styrene sheet and wax paper ideas!
Tried the paper one but sometimes things would stick right away and paper would tear as you tried to remove so you have to pick at it or shove it down behind the scenery resulting in times to damage. The styrene can cause damage too but much less and I have always been able to get it out, even in place where I let things dry too long.
