This is a must read when doing a black widow race car. Also reminds you not to put  too big a tire on your model that will make it not look just right.

I am building a Black widow right now. Having issues with foil, I think mine is too old and not sticking as well as it should. Thinking I should just paint it. But this is a great resource, thanks!

BMF will get hard to use with age especially if its not kept in an air proof environment. should store it in a zip lock bag. Also I had to actually get some from the actual guy that makes the stuff before I got some good fresh product.

Good to know about the zip lock bag thing  Mark.  Got some new foil on the way.

Hope you get some good stuff. I ordered some from micro mark and had nothing but problems with it. Thats when i sought out the actual guy who makes it and ordered it from him. That product worked good but now i cant remember who i ordered it from when I need some more.

Mark, was the foil from MicroMark the "new improved" version or the "ultra chrome" version??

I got some of both and neither one stuck very well. I dont know if maybe it has a shelf life and micro mark let it get past its shelf life.
