Glad Press and Seal

Don't know if this has been mentioned before but I tried using this stuff on a large area on a model after I did the close masking and it worked very well .

Yep!.... I bought 2 rolls of that stuff just for masking.....

It helps out a lot if you burnish the area you want to trim with a "sharp" #11 blade.... Use a tooth pic and a q-tip to burnish before and after the cut with a blade..... ?

I only use it to do large sections after I have done the close masking with good tape. It sure helps and saves time for me.

I've had it leave a residue. I hope you don't have that issue.

I've heard of that issue as well.

 

Don't know anything specific, but I have never used it.

Masking paper and tape have always worked well for me.

I've never thought of using press and seal type stuff. It one might want to make sure a painted surface has cured well before burnishing down the film.

I normally use Tamiya tape for defined edges, with blue painters tape and wax paper for covering large areas.

Tried it once, years ago (on a recommendation for a modeling forum).  It left lots of adhesive residue after I removed it.  I tossed the roll in the trash - never again.  I use Parafilm.

As do I.  Same problem several years back

I prefer Parafilm as well for masking. However, Press and seal does an ok job of keeping my paint booth walls from collecting build up and of dust and overspray. Pull toss and reapply.

Well, as we are generally a group of Old Farts here......

This stuff sticks to human skin quite well and to itself even better.

The spousal unit has had several surgeries that were glued/bandaged for a couple weeks with orders not to soak in water.

PressNSeal worked amazingly to keep said glue/bandage places relatively dry in the shower. Especially after the shoulder replacement surgery.

Maybe Glad should make a commercial promoting this?

[Bucky]

Oh, I just LOVE how the stuff sticks to itself! (Didja notice the sarcastic tone in my post?) LoL

I wonder if that stuff is temp sensitive.. maybe use a fresh roll on a model on a not so muggy day before painting.... It probably won't leave any residue on the body.... Something to try on a scrap body maybe...???....

I have absolutely no desire to ever use that stuff again  - I survived decades of modeling without it, I don't need it now.  I lived and learned. Thank you very much.

Maybe I never had a problem because I don't stick it to the paint but rather to the tape I use to form the fine line ?
