Decals and Bare Metal Foil

Post by Go Flight »

Hi,

I'm finishing up a rocket and I've primed the piece. The plan calls for Bare Metal Foil (BMF) and decals. Could I BMF the whole thing and then put the decals on over it, or should I leave the area to be decaled just primed. TIA

You can decal over BMF without problems. You'll still need to seal it - so you might play with removing the adhesive from the decal and using Future as adhesive/sealer in one.
