    Hi all. I'm looking for a very thin flexible masking tape to do curves for a spraying job. I think there's a 3M fine line masking tape I've seen online but I'd like to be able to get in person in Dublin city centre... Anyone any ideas where or alternatives?

    I got this stuff http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/3m-fine-line-masking-tape-blue-6mmx329m.php?manufacturers_id=23&osCsid=imuok5o0c7l7qq12j6qcufrb63 in the motor factors in Balbriggan but I'd say you can get in most of them, it's not like paper more like a flexible rubber that bends and stretches to whatever shape you want it also gives a good seal and leaves no residue I just did a little boat but it worked out fine:)

    Jesus Ferg, I'd say the sense of achievement when you opened her up was something else. Serious job, and a great vid. Love the name on the back too ;)

    Sorry for taking this thread OT !

    Thanks guy's if anyone wants to talk about the build you can get me here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055963665 To get back on topic a bit I had to cover the whole boat in the link in masking tape leaving a 2mm gap every 4" that I filled with black epoxy for this I used scotch blue tape "quite a bit of it":eek: it did bend a bit to the curve of the boat and had a good seal but a little bit of leaking so for the top deck and water line I used the green frogtape and that worked very well.
