Various masking Sets

White electrical tape? Didn't know they made them in white. Is white electrical tape thinner than black ones? Is it easier to cut? Does it leave any sticky residue behind? What about paint bleeding underneath the tape - even if it's burnished down really good? Curious ...

Your right,those masking sets aren't magic bullets.Not always the easiest things to use.

Burnishing tape down over the canopy depends a lot on the quality of molding.  Current kit I am working on has nice square corners where frames meet transparencies.  Previous kit was terrible- the frames were wave shape that had no sharp demarcation where frames met plexiglas.  Yet the plane (B-18) had a very complex greenhouse!  Never finished model (and no mask sets available for it- I would sure buy one if they offered it).

What are the advantages of using white electrical tape over other tapes? OP, can you elaborate?

Chris ;

   It seems to me it is somewhat thinner overall and takes light steady burnishings well .The only thing you Don't want to do is generate heat ( yes you can ! ) while doing the burnish .This affects the sticky side . Also , don't leave it on for more than four hours after painting .
