This is very true. I even find with paper stencils that I have to mist them with paint or even water prior to laying them on the rifle to dust with paint or else the paper flies off on the first spray. These are things I learned through trial and error and much practice painting spare boneyard rifle furniture pieces. I would recommend doing the same if you want to paint your rifle. Better to practice on a spare $20 crane stock than your expensive rifle.
Going back to the point though: Considering how inexpensive laundry netting is, as it doesn't have to be CF stuff, it the better route. Can find it online for dirt cheap.
