Making good Masking

[Sumpter250]

Very Nice! The LIRR one concerns me though, how did you get the tape in around the hood door seams?

By using 1/8" wide tape strips, I was able to work it into the "depressions" between doors ( etc. ) using a 3/32" dowel with one end formed into a "chisel tip", and another simply tapered to a point. The tape has to be pushed in, as you go. If you laid down the strip and then tried to push it into the crevasses, you would most likely puncture, or break the tape. Metal tools can have "too sharp" edges, and cause cutting or tearing of the tape.
Understand, there is still microscopic "bleeding", nothing is perfect, but unless it is over magnified, it is "unseen".
