RGL Posted July 16, 2018 Share #171 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Nice deep red! Be careful using normal masking take as it will lift at the edges or be very ragged.

Canute Posted July 17, 2018 Share #172 Posted July 17, 2018 I use both tapes, although I try to cut the blue painter's tape with a straight edge to make sure the edges are sharp. Also stick it on my pant leg to reduce the stickiness of the blue tape.

cog Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share #175 Posted July 17, 2018 Gents, thanks for the likes and the comments. Ken, I read somewhere that a bloke stuck the tape to his forehead to make it less sticky ... interesting, as it would mean you are adding grease to the part below the masking tape. Not something you would be looking for whilst painting a model ... Canute, mtaylor, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

Canute Posted July 17, 2018 Share #176 Posted July 17, 2018 Hmm, another technique. I think I like the pant leg method, a bit of dust/dirt versus grease.

RGL Posted July 17, 2018 Share #177 Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Never seen this before, interesting technique. Would not use skin, that’s why I use acetone on all large pieces of PE now to help the primer stick, acrylics just won’t stick.

cog Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share #178 Posted July 17, 2018 Acrylics don't adhere to PE, whatever you try to clean it. The only options are: 1. Use a primer which sticks to it, or etches into the surface, or 2. use an ageing agent like blacken-it. However, even the latter isn't 100% proof, if you dare, the most certain way is an etching primer. Since PE can be rather thin, you do run a risk Canute, Jack12477, Piet and 2 others 5 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...

cog Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share #180 Posted July 17, 2018 On PE, Tamiya, vallejo doesn't stick, at least their airbrushable primer. I've bought a rattle can primer from vallejo, which I have tot try. Since I do have quite a stack of PE leftovers, I'll be trying it on some of that. Let you know how that will turn out. I used the flat and gloss rattle cans from them, and those worked fine. A little getting used to in the beginning, as you do not see the quantity very well, so better a pass less than a pass to many I would suggest. You can always add another layer if needs be. I hope it will be as good as Tamiya. Tamiya is rather expensive here in Europe due to import duties, and transport. Vallejo is Spanish so that gives them a fair advantage popeye the sailor, Canute, Piet and 1 other 4 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."
