Juggernut Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) I asked this over at Scale Model Paint Masks site as well. Looking for appropriately sized kabuki tape sheets to use for cutting masks. Does anyone know where I can get these sheets? Preferably in the U.S. but I'm not adverse to ordering from outside the U.S. if the shipping doesn't kill me. I have Oramask 810 but for some things, I just would prefer the kabuki tape.

I think they are A4 sized sheets if I recall correctly, I bulk bought them ages ago when they were half price. I cut them in half to roughly be A5. I haven’t used the silhouette for a long time though as all that stuff was put away when I was selling my house and haven’t got around to dragging my model stuff out again as the sale fell through and I’m now waiting for my Garden Office/Workshop to be put up and set up so forgive me on any Silhouette haziness.

MikeMaben Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hey Tim, it's the same as Tamiya tape. It doesn't matter the size of the sheet. Just change the media size in your software to get things where you want them. These sheets are made specifically for masking machines. I wouldn't go with HLJ, the shipping is where they get 'ya Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the "Custom" media size setting, and either type the numbers in or use the "sliders" on the screen. Uncarina and mozart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just yesterday purchased the Sillouette upgraded edition so I should be able to find those settings someplace. I'm still relatively new to the software but thanks for the tip.

denders Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Ya know, looking under the "Masking" under "Tools" on the SB site, AMMO, Border, and Tamiya all have sheets of masking material. AMMO even has a second kind of sheet (different color). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Well no, I wasn't aware of that so thanks for enlightening me. I was searching using the term "kabuki" so none of those results came up. The Tamiya sheets from Amazon are somewhat less expensive than from Sprue Brothers (by about 10%) plus I got free shipping - still had to pay sales tax though . The MiG AMMO stuff in purple is "Low-Tack" so I don't think I'd be wanting those but they may have a good application someplace. I don't know as if I trust Border Model without knowing exactly what material they're using. Edited January 17, 2023 by Juggernut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does , I used it on my 109D canopy, it forms nicely and moves well when wet with soapy water. The sheets are pretty small tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
