Default Splash masking questions

OK, I'm ready to try splashing some parts. I think I get the idea behind doing it.

1-Ano part normaly
2-Dye splash color
3-Apply rubber cement, allow to dry
4-Bleach
5-Rinse well
6-Dye background color
7-Remove rubber cement
8-Seal normaly

Have I missed anything? Also do you dry the part before applying the rubber cement to get it to stick? What do you use for the bleach? The wife's laundry bleach? Diluted with water? Does the rubber cement leave any residue that must be removed before sealing?
Sorry for so many questions but I put a lot of time into the parts I make and don't want to screw them up.
Thanks,
Paul
