In no particular order.... first attempts with flite-metal





quick hit thoughts...
- its flexible... compound curves aren't really that hard to do
- its softer than "reynolds wrap" which might make it easier to work with than typical aluminum foil ...
- its thicker than "reynolds wrap".. it might be due to the adhesive,
- it goes on pretty quickly... definitely not hard to do. Just requires patience... and lots of tape. I'm using a couple kinds of tape right now, blue painters, 3m fine line, and electrical depending on the surface....
