Is masking tape effecting for covering parts of a plastic model airplane when spray painting?

The blue painters tape is better for masking the model if you already have paint on it. When you pull off the painters tape it does not pull off the paint. Masking tape is great for masking on the unpainted plastic however do not leave it on for too long or it will leave a residue.Make sure the leading edge is down good with no gaps and the paint should not seep under it.




I forget what it is called, but the paint on masking stuff is much more effective in my opinion. It is much easier to apply to curved surfaces that you typically get on planes.





However masking tape is usually fine also, just takes longer to do properly.




kinda, you should go to walmart or any other store like that and buy sheets of vinyl the kind decals are made of, in the craft section. cut it into thin strips and use it like tape. it's like the peel and stick kind.


hoped it helped.




Yes, and sometimes the cheap kind of tape is better (less sticky) if you are concerned about pulling stuff off when you remove the tape. Get less sticky cheap tape at the dollar store.




I would get painters tape. It is blue. And should come off better than masking tape. Wal Mart has it.




yes it is pretty munch the same as painters tape




yes

How to scrap a page in a scrapbook ?

1. Pick something you want from what your scrapbook page to be about(a holiday,wedding, birthday-anything!) and gather some photos and keepsakes reminding you of the event.


2. Choose some card, you want the colour to be linked to the subject.Also get some more card to matt the photos and writing.


3. Make the page look better,stick the photos on to some cards (a different colour to the background) and cut about 1cm away around the photo to make it look as if it is in a frame as such.


4. Type the title you want in large on your computer and matt it like the photos,or if you have got a cutting machine (sizzix,ellison.ect.)where you can buy the alphabets.


5. Put patterns across the page or put embellishments on the page,but you can do what ever you want.


6. Type the date and other important facts on the page,these also should be matted.


7. Look before sticking anything on the page,move them round to see where you like them best,then stick them down.


8. Keep all your scrapbook pages in a folder if you wish, it keeps them from getting damaged. Have a folder for each topic if you wish.




Go to your local library. Mine has a lot of books on scrapbooking. Make sure to look at the magazines too. There are several different scrapbooking and paper craft mags. You should be able to check out the old issues




go to walmart in the crafts and get a scrapbook kit or just look at the ones they have and get a general idea.

What do you use for the inside of homemade cards?

if you use colored cardstock for the outside, what do you use for the inside?



I usually use a white or light colored card stockk cut just an 1/8%26quot; smaller on all sides of the original card. Then I glue it in and stamp a saying and a small design. Or you can stamp the inside and use a light colored or white embossing powder. Or you can write in a silver or gold pen. All of these have worked for me. I get the majority of my supplies at Michael%26#039;s. With a 40% off coupon - everything is reasonable. You can get the coupons emailed to you by signing up at Michael%26#039;s. Or if you have a Joann%26#039;s near you they have all the supplies also.




I do one of three things.





Sign the inside in a color marker, like silver





Mat the inside with a light color cardstock-just mat the inside, right side of card





Use parchment paper-cut it slightly smaller that the card, fold in half and use a small piece of tape to adhere. Tape it to the inside left side. That way when you open it the inside liner opens up.





I picked up a pack of parchment paper at Michael%26#039;s cheap. The pack had 3 pale colors in it

What is the best glue to use to stick shells on to wood boxes?

I live in the UK and its hard to come by good glue that sticks shells right away to the boxes. At the moment I am using this good glue, but the problem is the smell and the prices of it. its almost 9 a tin. I am open to suggestions



The best is an impact adhesive, such as 'Evostik'





Comes in a tube, any hardware store and no lasting smell once it has dried. It is fairly instant, it is inexpensive.





Also fairly 'instant'




why the hell would I know that and why have you put that question in games and recreation.




Try an instant grab adhesive like No More Nails if all else fails . ...( it's actuallly in Hobbies & Crafts @tracy ... DOH !! )




I think your best bet is to get a hot glue gun.


Ja.




Any kind of strong contact glue,but read instructions

Why do people think so little of miniature wargamers?

I have had many of my friends and other people I know that are athletes to nerds tell me that I need to get a life because I set up battles with miniatures. This is not all I do either. I also play electric guitar and a million other hobbies, but no matter what, people think you have no life if you wargame. Some of the people whom have said I need a life play WoW nonstop and play xbox all the time. Is there something I'm missing here?



I wouldn't sweat what they think. I used to do the mini wargames too waaaay way back, and I'm also an avid WoW gamer. WoW is very similar except you're playing in virtual reality and the quests have been setup for you. (XBox is boring if you ask me, and I do have one.)





Try finding a mini wargame guild to hang out with. Don't sweat it. Some people love bowling, some love football, and tons of people simply do not get the point of watching golf or baseball. If you're not able to share your interests with your current friends, expand your network. Shared interests are the path to male bonding so there is that subtle pressure to fit in. Knocking others down for being different is also a male thing--creating the pecking order. So don't let it bug you (or at least don't let them see you unsure of yourself.) Be true to who you are and, trust me, when you make the right friends, these people will be convinced you are the coolest one on the block.




I paint minis but I've never understood the games. That said, there a guy on one of the forums who plays Warhammer but is also a serving Marine.




Hey I do the same thing and my friends make fun of me for it, too. Who cares. If you like doing it, then do it.




I play call of duty, Halo, and crossfire. All my friends don't stereo-type like that.
