  1. I had this problem once and discover the letting it dry in the dehydrator it heated up the tape and left the residue. I use Lime Wire and 3M 471 for the edges and Tamiya to cover the rest. Won't find them at Walmart. Nothing with tape goes in the dehydrator.
  2. I am going to do some spoon trials with MCW , Createx Auto Borne sealer and some Duplicover (as mentioned above) primers and treat it like my regular process. I will steel wool the spoons first. I have never had this "chip out" problem before, only with MCW. I am hoping it is just needing better prep work.
  3. Looking for the best way to remove MCW paint . I have tried the Purple Pond and it doesn't seem to touch it. The reason I need to remove it is that the primer doesn't stick to the plastic and if I use tape it pulls the paint off when I remove it even Bare-M-Foil will chip the paint off down to bare plastic. Not sure if I need to do more prep work or use a different primer ? I am using MCW primer.
  4. I also read where you mount two blades in an Exacto knife put some thing between them as a spacer and cut the tape. On the two occasions I tried it I got curves instead of straight.
  5. The narrowest good tape that I have found Lime Line at 1/16 that would be 1 1/2" to scale
  6. Reminds me of those Honda Ridgelines. Half SUV and half Truck. Not very good as either. I call them a "Suck"
  7. I am not a fan of "electric" Mustangs either
  8. I always refer to them as a Magnum with a sorts roof
  9. Whole new deal when you get in to the Candies and Pearls, (watch the videos)
  10. i use 4011 for most of my Createx paints. Lately i have been using the Candy2o. I can do some color mixing and add flake to it for a subtle metal flake. You can go to the Createx page and get directions on use and mixing there and Youtube has a bunch of videos on mixing and application. I use the sealer as a primer and it comes in various colors. It will work over other primers.
