How many use BMF to mask window trim?

Just wondering which type you feel is best. I have the crome version. Please let me know if this is effective masking for you.

Thanks!

JB

I tried BMF one for window trim masking and it was difficult to remove. I've had better luck using Tamiya masking tape.

Re: How many use BMF to mask window trim?

BMF is an excellent masking material IMHO, particularly for window trim. I use BMF quite a lot for masking off this kind of thing.

To make it more economical, I use a thin strip at the critical point and then lay Tamiya tape next to this to mask off a wider area.

If you overlay the Tamiya tape it also lifts the BMF when removed.

I've used most of the different colors of BMF to mask with. I run regular masking tape up to about 1/16 of an inch away and put the foil over that and it peels off very easily when I'm done.
