Fire and Forget! Masking Continued


In my builds, masking tape is only used to hold the larger masking material down - in this case, plastic sheet cut from a WalMart bag.

I've read where people use aluminum foil and paper for large area masks. The bag works best for me.
Regular brown masking tape is best reserved for masking window frames on your house, not for model and hobby masking.

Notice only one fin and the nose cone are exposed for the black spray to follow.
In the end, the brown masking tape is placed about 1/2 the way onto the clear Scotch tape.
Double check the entire model before spraying. The second color will find it's way into any small hole or opening. Add more tape just to be sure.
