Better BMF

[James2]

​I have heard of a technique used when foiling. Scribe along the trim before painting, it allows a cleaner line to follow.

​Have you ever heard of this? Is there a tutorial? Pictures?

Thanks J2

This is standard procedure for me. It's just to give your knife a deeper groove to follow. You just run a panel scriber along the edge of the trim you are going to foil. There are many types of panel scribers available, of which I have 3 or 4. My favorite is a dental scraper which Micro Mark sells. I like it because it seems to follow curves and corners better, probably just works with MY brain better.
