4whelr Posted June 19, 2013 #1 Posted June 19, 2013 What is the best way to prevent the paint from "bleeding" when painting the edges of the planking black?

Jim Lad Posted June 19, 2013 #2 Posted June 19, 2013 Try using an archive quality marker pen instead of paint. John
russ Posted June 19, 2013 #3 Posted June 19, 2013 I use a number 2 pencil rubbed along the edge of the plank at smaller scales to indicate caullking. I have never had any smearing or any problem doing that. It looks good at 1/48 scale and smaller.
