Title: Masking curves
Post by: TugCowboy on October 10, 2008, 10:07:50 pm

Hi Guys,

I'm currently masking off the waterline of my tug hull for painting of the anti-foul. Got round the bow and the sides done no problem but I just can't mask off a smooth curve around the stern.

I've tried normal masking tape, electrical tape and the thin Tamiya masking tape, in small strips, big strips and everything inbetween, whats the best way to mask a curve off?

Many thanks in advance.

Alex
