waterline pin striping...... had a wierd one, had some white automotive pinstriping on a model to represent the waterline.....
the automotive pin stripe is the same brand as i have used in the past....it was a new roll, I normally have no problems with it.... but the stuff i applied to my latest creation has all started to lift and come off about 4 weeks after it was applied........preparation was done in the same way as in the past.... maybe its a dud batch of striping- just dont know why its lifting - plus its not lifting everywhere ?
but great results huh !........
anyone out there who is in the automotive/ spraying trade got any ideas, - can i get it adhered back onto the hull... how do i go about it the best way, someone suggested gently apply heat with a hair drier ?
anyone got any ideas, the reverse seems tacky still but not as 'sticky' as when originally applied...
i expect some one will say just take it off and re- apply new stuff - but this is now very tricky as the model now has lots of detail parts applied in and around the waterline,... exhaust outlets, frames to protect the trim tabs and similar...
shane/ stavros... any suggestions- have you come across this at all before ?
