Sometimes I find with a fully black brush and a standard brush style at full hardness and full flow with no blend mode enabled that hiding an image via masking behaves in half-measures and stutters as if I have a lower flow enabled.  This brush should be completely hiding the elipse glow targeted with one click but it's not.  Below is a visual aid to make my point.  I'm using a normal round brush and trying to erase a glow effect from an ellipse shape but, as you can see, one tap of the brush produces a 50% removal instead of 100%.  I've highlighted the relevant areas in red to show why I think I'm doing everything correctly.  Obviously I'm missing something...can anyone find my mistake?  (I am using vers. 1.10 btw)image.thumb.png.eeb2f5e7a41dcda4cc1679d1276d3ae3.png

I can't tell what's causing the stuttering/flow behaviour but for masking it is useful to have "Wet Edges" disabled.

I assumed Wet Edges was somehow related to hardness

https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/pages/Tools/tools_paintBrush.html explains what it does.

TL:DR version is it creates a watercolor effect.

And it's on by DEFAULT.  Which is CRAZY.

That depends on the brush -- a few are set to Set Wet Edges "on," as the default, a few are set to Set Wet Edges "off," & most are set to Don't Set Wet Edges which leaves the current setting unchanged.  Note that as the help topic mentions, you can change for any brush: double-click on the brush in the brushes panel & from the popup Brush Editing [name of brush] menu you can change the wet edges setting (as well as blend mode & associated tool settings).
