What Do You Use To Replicate Chrome Trim

I have used HVAC duct tape and while it does go on OK, it tends to be too thick to expose fine details. The adhesive is also thicker and more gooey, so the foil will get distorted with handling and may shift over time. It leaves big wrinkles on curved surfaces.

I remember there used to be a hobby adhesive meant for foil and I recall a builder using the cheapest, thinnest kitchen foil he could find and putting it on with the adhesive. I wonder if that adhesive is still for sale?

Yes, it is.

Thanks Steve. 

Why can't that also be used to hold down bad BMF?

I would think it should.

That's why I bought it.

But I have yet to try it.

There is also this  stuff (I have had a bottle for decades).  I sometimes use it to make stickers from ordinary paper printouts.

The Microscale MI-8 Micro Metal Foil Adhesive is probably very similar to BMF's stuff.

I believe both are produced by the same company, just packaged for their respective labels.
