Stripe masks 12 x 0.5 - 2 mm (Oramask)

A set of twelve masking strips of Oramask vinyl film, roughly from 0.5 to 2 mm wide. They serve to mask thin lines, dividing stripes, trims and decorative lines accurately when spraying paint with an airbrush. The strips are cut in advance, which removes the laborious and inaccurate cutting of narrow strips from ordinary tape. They are made by the Czech maker Omask.

Use

• First clean and degrease the surface and let it dry, and only then apply the film.
• Press the strip down along its whole length so the edge seats perfectly and the paint does not creep under it.
• Apply the paint in thin coats; a heavy coat raises the risk of it running under the edge.
• Peel the film off soon after the paint has set, at a sharp angle to the surface.

Oramask or kabuki

Oramask is a self-adhesive vinyl film. It holds well even on rounded and contoured surfaces, gives a sharp edge and resists creeping. Paper washi tape (kabuki) is on the other hand thinner and more compliant for straight edges and fine transitions, but holds less well on more complex curves. This variant is chosen by modelers who need firm and precise masking of lines.

Who it is for

• Modelers who spray paint with an airbrush and need accurate thin lines.
• Aircraft and car modelers masking stripes, trims and dividing lines.
• Anyone who wants to save cutting narrow strips from ordinary tape.

This is a masking aid, not a paint or a kit. Work in a well ventilated room and follow the instructions of the maker of the paint you use.
