rickd13 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Once again I'm new to this. The question I have is, when you foil a wind shield area in strips, what do you do at the corners? Do they overlap? Doesn't that look weird? How do you make them look right? Should I try to cut a piece of foil so it is like the strips but is all connected and slightly bigger than the wind shield area (like a thick outline of a rectangle shape) so that the corners are all connected?
vaughn Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Cut your foil larger than the area you are foiling. Trim away excess. Burnished with something smooth and small and want tear. It just takes a little patience and practice. You can do it. Hope this helps. Edited March 10, 2011 by vaughn
Guest Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Overlapping is fine, if burnished well, it will look like the seams on real trim.
Foxer Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I agree with Lee. Real trim has seams at the corners and the foil looks good with overlaps ... if you can even see them. This is two techniques that both work well, but I'm too cheap to waste this expensive material foiling over dead space.
crazyjim Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 BMF will "bend" at inside corners. Just take your time and bend a little at a time. I use make-up applicators when doing BMF. They're rounded at one end and pointy at the other. Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens all carry them
