Greetings all.

Did Cutting Edge close recently? The reason I ask is because I am after some masks they produce but they don't seem to have them on their Home Page..

Cheers
Warren

For certain values of "recent" which include "within the last 5 years or so". They've been out of business for quite a while now
You might try looking on evil-bay or at swap meets.

Ever tried looking for masks for a KC-97L??

What I hate is that they went out of business but didn't offer the templated for the masks they produced to anyone so they could continue producing them. There may not be a huge market but at least keep the stuff in circulation..

Tamiya tape, soft pencil to push the tape into the corners, sharp blade and no coffee for a week. Robert's your father's brother.

Yes, it's sad that they didn't sell their masters to someone. Perhaps they couldn't get the price they deemed necessary?

My weapon of choice for this type of masking job is Bare metal foil and a nice sharp knife. But your method works fine as well Jessica.
