Ok, I didn't bother to read all the replies, so please excuse me if this has already been mentioned. Try scaledreams.com, shipping should be $2.95.

James, scale dreams has a $10 minimum order

Which is a good excuse to buy 2 or more sheets. LOL I've got my cart saved and add to it as needed until I've got at least $100 order. Getting close.

I've tried it. It works but the adhesive is thick and stringy like rubber cement and is very difficult to remove cleanly. The thickness of the adhesive can also prevent the foil from laying down smoothly.

I'd avoid it.

When did Scale Dreams start a $10 minimum? I usually get my BMF from there.

He's been doing it for over a year. With the high volume of orders and the time it takes to pick, pack and ship he said he had to start doing that because he would get a LOT of orders for just 1 small thing.

Like a lot have said, I get mine on ebay. Normally about 9.00 total with shipping. It normally comes in a flat envelope put between 2 pieces of cardboard. Speaking of BMF does anyone know what the shelf life is on this stuff ? I got a sheet one time that would not stick very well and my guess was maybe it was old. (?) I was able to use it by clearing it after I had it on. I don't normally add the BMF before I clear as I prefer to do it afterwards.

I had one sheet of Model Master. Garbage. Soft is only Part of it.

The stuff Felt like Mylar instead of Foil, and like there was a sheet of Cellophane between

the surface & adhesive. The adhesive felt like Weak Double-face tape.

Once on it would pick up a scar from the lightest touch of the edge of your fingernail.
