TurboKitty Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I have a sheet of 1yr old black BMF, it does not seem to want to stick like my regular chrome BMF does. I bought them both at the same time from the same place, but I have no way of knowing how old the sheets are, I was thinking maybe the black one sat longer so some of the adhesive lost it's tackiness? Is there a trick to getting it to stick like it should, or should I just buy a new sheet directly from BMF (hoping that it's a fresh sheet)?

High octane Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 If the chrome BMF sticks and the black BMF does not, I'm thinkin' you need to get a new sheet of black BMF. At least that's what I would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboKitty Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 that's what I was thinking but it kinda sucks because there is 97% of the sheet left that I have, I was hoping I could save it somehow. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboKitty Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 ok that's what I figured, I will look into the foil adhesive too. I am using it on a glossy surface that has been polished smooth and washed/rinsed well (no clearcoat applied yet, either). Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboKitty Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 a long time ago when I was still living at home, my mom got me this small bottle of stuff that you brushed onto the back of regular aluminum foil (the kitchen stuff). I tried it but it was heavy duty foil, so I got some thin stuff at a dollar store and it worked pretty well. I don't know if it was Micro Scale adhesive though. I've seen thin brass, copper, silver, and gold craft sheets at hobby lobby, has anyone ever tried those out? I think they are for embossing or something, not quite sure. For now I'm going to tape off the parts that I need black, but I will get some Micro Scale adhesive as well as some more black foil if I can be sure it's fresh stuff. Thanks x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
