BMF vs Aluminum tape


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I am actually using Aluminum Tape (for plumbing) for my chrome trim. 

Would say that switching for the real BMF product would make things easier to cut, etc?

I feel that the Aluminum tape is a bit too thick and I have hard time to cut through, and the glue layer give me trouble as well.... Even with a fresh blade, I can not get a neat edge.

thank you :)

I use aluminum tape for a few things, but it's too thick and too rigid for most foiling use. Not comparable to BMF at all. 

Thin (cheap) household kitchen foil with Micro Metal Foil Adhesive is very useful. It doesn't replace BMF entirely, but I find that it works at least as well maybe 75% of the time, and a lot cheaper too.
