HO Road Striping Tape

[ezdays]

Just an N scale guy thinking out loud, but isn't 1/32" a bit narrow for HO gauge road striping? That's less than 3", I have used .040 Bishop PCB drafting tape for N scale striping, that  comes to a bit over 6" in the real world. I rolled it out on some clear Acetate and painted it white or yellow. Can't do it anymore, the tape I have is old and has lost most of its stickiness, but it came in widths from .015 on up to around .50 if they still make it.

Yes Don, really, I use 1/16 for all my single lines, and for the thick wide line use I use 1/8 , but hey, I'm not a master modeler by any means   , I just use what I can get if I feel its within reason, and do my best with it   . HONESTLY THOUGH, that matte tape posted just totally knocked my socks off, WOW, very nice   .

I bought a roll of white masking tape thinking that I could trim it down using my balsa wood cutter tool. It did not work well, but that 1/32" stuff there should work really good for N scale. Looks like they do have 1/16" as well if you scroll down the page. I'm going for it too....
