AMMO BY MIG JIMENEZ
SOFTOUCH VELVET MASKING SHEETS ITEM NO. A.MIG-8244
AMMO by Mig Jimenez has expanded their Masking Sheet range with a new release.
This is a pack of five self-adhesive masking sheets in a purple colour with an almost flock texture. AMMO has labelled this “Softouch Velvet”.
Each sheet is 290 mm x 145 mm with the adhesive velvet finish on the front and a white backing sheet.
I confess that I was a bit mystified about the unusual violet velvet finish at first, but its purpose became clearer after peeling the backing sheet off and laying it over a printed page. The velvet masking sheet is very translucent, allowing the modeller to trace the pattern below or cut directly with a knife or scissors with the masking material in place.
The velvet sheet is also very low in tackiness, so once the mask is traced or cut it may be lifted from the source without any difficulty. The self-adhesive material leaves no residue either.
