Brushable Masking Material for Titanium Anodizing-AMS2488 type 2

Is there a material that will mask titanium parts from anodizing when processed per AMS 2488, type 2? As this is a high (13+) pH electrolyte, tapes and standard brushable stop-off type lacquer material do not hold up on the process.

Nail polish yes nail polish prior to dipping you must let it harden then after anodising remove it with acetone [on eBay or Amazon].
