6 x 11 Thin Sheet New Improved Chrome Foil

Great stuff. Use it for chrome trim or cover an entire model. Burnish it down well with one of Tamiya's hard pointed cotton buds. I use it to mask canopies. If burnished down correctly no paint will seep under it. When removing it will leave a light residue that can be removed with mineral spirits followed non-amonia type glass cleaner.

I have been using B M F (Bare Metal Foil) since it was 1st introduced, in the 70's I think, and have my share of horror stories about it through the years. Some of the issues included things like the foil ripping trying to get it removed from the backing sheet, curling onto itself before you can get it in place on the model and also the lack of adhesion on the model are the most common ones. FAST FORWARD a few decades, and what a difference. The new & improved sheets are several leaps forward to the old stuff. It, most defenatley adheres better. There is, however, some things to consider when using it. 1st,& foremost is to get your mind into the game and have a clean & organized work space. Remember, THIS FOIL IS EXTREMLEY THIN AND REQUIRES A LIGHT TOUCH!!!!!! A couple tips I have for usage is naturally several NEW #11 blades, more times than not I will use the blades WITHOUT the knife handle, some toothpicks with the ends sanded smooth and rounded to burnish the foil into tight spaces. Last but not least is, after you have it in place, burnished down and are satisfied with the results, dip a new Q-Tip into some alcohol and wipe the foil off before the final trimming. I hope this review will help the newer people to the hobby to try & enjoy using BARE METAL FOIL..... ps. having some good old rock & roll on the stereo isn't a bad idea either.....

I recently used this after years of thinking it was hard to do, to my surprise it was simple yet fun. It gives a realistic chrome shine to all models. Get yourself some tweezers, q tips, and fresh hobby knife. Measure a little wider and longer than what your covering. Use the q-tip to lay it down nice and smooth plus it helps it stick. Now just take your hobby knife and gentle trace the lines and peal off access and your done . I really suggest this it brings life into my model cars
