How to mask up around a corner
Hi all,
I hope you all have a buzz about the summer and the great days of driving ahead. I cant wait!!!
So, Im starting to mask up my rear tub to spray the arches. The problem being is marking tape dont like going side ways and creates creases which will
give a 50p effect edge. Any nifty ideas around this. Insulating tape instead? Some other method of masking around corners?
Thanks in advance,
Biz

Yep, fine line tape and then the normal stuff.
Also don't leave it on too long as it's a PITA to get off.

Fortunately 3M do a cleaning fluid in a pump can that removes adhesive in no time, if you do leave it on for more than a few days.
Works really well and smells of oranges.
Funnily enough it's called '3M Citrus Based Cleaner'.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

cant you release the arches slightly or are they rivetted, if you can then do it and slide paper behind them
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone
