Product description : Ultra-thin Aluminum Sticker

This ultra-thin adhesive material (thickness 0.1mm) perfectly matches the reliefs of the surfaces to which it is affixed. It allows you to cover small surfaces or molded details (for example car window frames) to increase the realism of the models. It can also be used as a demarcation line (masking) when painting. This product is intended for experienced modelers.

• Thickness: 0.1mm (without support film)• Material of the support film: PET• Two sheets of 100x148mm eachHow to use (example vehicle window frames)1.Ensure that all painting work on the model is completed and the paint is completely dry. Using scissors or a modeling knife, cut out a section of aluminum sticker (with its support film) slightly larger than the area to be covered. In the case of a vehicle window surround, treat each side separately.2.Apply a partially folded section of masking strip to the aluminum surface. With your fingers or tweezers, pull on the masking strip to detach the aluminum film from the support film. 3.Place the aluminum sticker on the area to be covered and press lightly with a finger or a cotton-tipped stick. Carefully remove the masking strip.4.Using the cotton-tipped stick, press from the center outwards to make the shapes fit the aluminum film. Proceed delicately so as not to damage the surface. Tamiya sticks of different shapes and sizes (87103, 87104, 87105, 87106, 87107, 87141, 87142) or toothpicks can also be used.5.Cut off the excess sticker along the edge of the sticker surround window using a modeling knife fitted with a new blade to avoid tearing.6.Remove unnecessary parts using tweezers. If they don't lift, use a toothpick or masking tape.
