Fat Brian Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The thing about BMF is that it's so thin that it conforms to almost any shape, thicker materials tend to pull up from tight bends and such because the material is thick enough to try to keep its flat shape and the adhesive isn't strong enough to hold it down.
