After seeing it recommended by a highly regarded builder for applying black stripe graphics, I bought a roll of
Con-Tact 06F-C9052-06 Multi-Purpose Self-Adhesive Chalk Board Liner, 6 ft L x 18 in W, Black
At least that's the closest thing I could find to the description provided. It arrived this morning.
Unfortunately, the surface isn't just matte or flat, it's ROUGH. Like whatever the roughest surface finish in OR is, that's probably not rough enough. It probably does work well to make rockets look black and stripey and looks good from a distance, but I don't want to spray enough clearcoat on my rocket to make this stuff smooth. That would be a lot of paint weight, and I'm trying to get away from paint weight overall.
So I'm returning it. Thankfully, I drive right past the Walmart every day, so the hassle is minor relative to the learning I've accomplished.
Guess I'm back to placing that order for more Tamiya masking tape.
Unless I ordered the wrong thing. Willing to try again if someone says, "No, this part number is good and smooth."
