Hi All Does anyone know if there is such a thing as double sided masking tape as opposed to standard double sided tape? At the moment I paint small items like gun port lids, drip boards etc on masking tape stuck down at each end, a double sided version would be so much easier! Happy Building all.

You could try thin double sided tape after rubbing your fingers across the surface to reduce the tac, or maybe a spot of blutac on the reverse of the part.

As Tomick mentions.. Blutac always works wonders for me and a must for small parts etc http://www.model-space.com/gb/

Just wrap masking tape upside down round a couple of your fingers and voila double sided masking tape. Regards Bob Builds in progress
