MikeC Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I thought I'd have a go at making my own roundels to spray rather than use decals. I acquired a pack of Frisket film sheets, dug out a pair of compasses, a P-cutter and a ruler, reached into the depths of my memory to recall geometry principles. I also reached for the appropriate Tamiya acrylics, and off I went. All was well until I tried to lift the first element of the masks off to spray the next colour. The Frisket claimed to be "low-tack". I guess "low" is subjective, but these stuck fast, and when they did come off they left a sticky residue on the model. I'd stored the pack of masking sheets flat in a drawer, I don't believe I subjected them to unusual coditions eg excessive heat. So the question is: what product would you recommend? And the supplementary would be "Anyone (UK only to avoid excessive postage) got a use for a pack of 8 Frisket sheets with one part-used?" Tia for any advice. Here's the product I used. https://www.everythingairbrush.com/masking-mats-knives/frisket-film/original-frisket-film-matt-sheet-15-in-x-10-in-380mm-x-250mm-pack-of-8.html#product_tabs_review_tabbed PS: The model is a Fly Hurricane, and I've reverted to plan B - decals.

mozart Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Mike, I use Oramask 810 on my Silhouette cutter, can’t see why it wouldn’t work with what you are doing. I can send you a few samples if you like to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Thanks Max. I'm actually sorted now, as I put the same question on FB and got a couple of suggestions; I went with Artool Ultra Mask. However, thanks for the thought. mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I don’t use frisked for masking, but I use vinyl from Maketar, or use Tamiya Masking sheets. I only use frisked for transferring the masks to the model. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Mike save the friskett, you’ll use it. I use it similar to 1to1Scale, transferring the mask to the model. Especially useful for exactly what you are doing, roundels! Friskett will ensure everything lines up correctly. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
