Where to buy very narrow masking tape?

Looks great!

I use thin masking tape on 1:32 props to mark out the laminations, by eye.  takes a while but looking edge on and making the strips look parallel, works eventually!

Will be interested to see if/when these become available commercially

Once you have this product up and running Bob I will have a sheet each of 0.5mm - 0.75mm and 1.0mm please.

Hi Bob,
I apologise if you have already said this and I missed it but will you be putting these strips on your website for sale?

Hi Chris,
 I will be adding these to the website soon, but happy to cut some 'strippers' for you in the meantime.
Please let me know what you need.

Cheers,

Hi Bob,

Here are your strips in use.  I used the 0.5 mm strips (with some liqiud mask) to mask up for the laminations on my WNW Albie prop.

The strips go on easily, and have enough tack to stay in place yet are easily removed.  I didn't have as much of a problem as with micromask tape with sweaty fingers, and I found I could use each strip around 3 times.  The edges are reasonably sharp - any imperfections on my prop are a result of my inaccurate laying out of the strips, not the strips themselves.  I would like to try the strips to mask out an edge on a complex curve surface, such as a prop spinner or fuselage bands etc.

All good so far Bob...

Hi Ian,
 Thanks for taking the time to show us one use of the strips - there be many, many more me thinks 

I find them handy for bracing delicate masks - like this DH.2 sawtooth mask I made for a mate of mine.

Happy masking!

I have a product called micromesh Bob.  It works OK but has quite rough edges, works fine for pipe lagging but not so good for prop laminations. Your edges are fine enough for that application

Received my supplies of Bobs Strippers the other day, they look great. I have not had an opportunity to use them yet but as soon as I do i will give a full report.
