twopaws Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Bought two sheets from local hobby shop that has a good turnover of products, they each contained miniscule, almost microscopic lines. I called Randy at BMF and was told the roller appling the glue caused this. I ordered three sheet direct from them, they arrived and each had the same texture issues. When applied to a model, no amount of burnishing will remove these fine lines, the surface now has the texture of 1/25th alligator skin. They are all over the sheet, not like the big wrinkles I have seen before. Anybody else having this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Haven't bought a new sheet for awhile,..but the one I am finishing now had lines of bubbles in it,.. When I tried using a piece with these bubbles thru it, it just falls apart,... Too bad, it was, a great product... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Experienced the same thing with a sheet of Ultra Bright Chrome Craig, frustrating but I put up with it when I built my '59 Elky mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Cohen Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 My sheets are okay and I got them a few months ago, no lines or wrinkles. If the sheets you got directly from BMF are bad, you should tell them and return them for replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exotics_Builder Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The last couple of sheets I have purchased from a hobby shop were grainy. When applied, no amount of burnishing gets rid of it. Even clear coating and then buffing doesn't totally eliminate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
