[@barbatosrex9473]

So close!

[@hasmatiks]

99.9!

[@DominicZxen]

Got my paints ordered! Thanks for all you do Robert, you are an awesome inspiration. Do a yellow, but forget about naming it banana wahtever. Call it Loud Lemon! Goes with your fruit line, and your heavy metal music!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Lemon is a good one

[@NorrinRadd555]

100K subs!! Well done and well deserved!! Your a true asset to our craft. Thank you so much for using your time to make our lives happier and better. The very best to you Robert and God Bless you.

[@barbatosrex9473]

God bless you too my friend, couldn't have done it without all of your coming along for the ride

[@theragingdolphinsmaniac4696]

I have been using the Scotch delicate surfaces for 15 or 20 years from when it used to be blue. It’s my favorite masking tape, although you cannot leave it on indefinitely because the adhesive becomes gooey and gummy over time. Sherwin Williams also has a nice yellow low tack tape.

[@jimbe01]

Congratulations Robert, hopefully onward and upward for the channel. Please do a tape test as part of the chrome paint pesting. P.S. please include some 90 degree and obtuse and scute type angles (single piece and two piece over-lap) as part of the tape testing, tn

[@Grennymcgee]

100 thousand Subs You did it! Congratulations!🎉🎉🎉

[@Model.Student]

You did it! 100K! Congratulations!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes! Thank you! We did it 👍😀

[@OakfieldDon]

100, 000!!!!!! You did it Robert! Congratulations 🎉

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend, we did it 👍😀

[@popopkiller4366]

Big congrats for the 100k ! Seems like the last thousand took forever ! Your videos are always inspiring, I got in the airbrushing hobby with confidence thanks to your channel, knowing I'd find a buckload of infos watching your vids, so thank you ! Regarding the masking tape business, would you consider more tests with very thin vinyl masking tapes, like 3M 1/8 inch and such ? You know, the ones you can see in a million videos showing how to paint motorbikes gas tanks... I am very curious about the results on hobby paints ;-) Take care Robert, and keep on rocking !

[@husseinazeez4045]

Thank for another amazing testing and congratulations for the 100K subscription

[@EckoDaniel22]

Congrats Mr. Barbatos on the 100K!!

[@CrimsonFlagg]

You're almost there! Let's go, dude!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Let's go 😀

[@S.A.S.H.]

Excellent to see Dream Theater on your bench!

[@GeraldPBookerJRBooker]

I can't wait for you to reach your goal!

[@barbatosrex9473]

I did last night 😀

[@ippaku]

I started watching this video when it came out and then paused it and then forgot about KZbin for about 10 hours. Very interesting on the tape. I definitely will need to look at giving maybe one of them. I already have some Tamia tape but having a bigger wider, tape would be good. Proud Patreon member commenting to support the video in the channel. Let’s get to 100 K. Be well be you

[@doublenickelbob]

Great video Robert, keep em coming I'll keep watching.

[@randytaylor1258]

Thanks, man! You do such a great job of testing stuff for us, and it's especially great when the test comes out positive. Delicate surface tapes -- fantastic!

[@sgtatarms4780]

So close to the goal!!!! Thanks for the information on the tapes.

[@aroncheek5092]

So happy to see your near the 100k not long now my friend

[@aroncheek5092]

I have a few video ideas for you, miliput and epoxy, green stuff 2 parts modelling putties , I think adhesives would make a good one also ,I've just repaired a spitfire again hopefully the landing gear will stay on now as I've just used UV resin to set the landing gear in place for once and for all used revel plastic glue originally then again yesterday,after a few hours it still didn't feel solid so I used some auto thinner to get a quick bond ,it was ok this morning but still didn't feel solid literally 5 to 10 seconds it took to set the UV resin around the landing gear and now rock solid

[@emv143]

Thanks for the testing! I used to use Frog Tape yellow but unfortunately when I put too much layers of paint and tape, bad things happen. LOL I've never used that specific 3M tape, now I have to find one locally. Anyway I've been using the Duplicolor Sandable Primer since 2010 and it's been solid either direct from can or decanted and thinned with lacquer thinner. All my painted kits with this primer are still good.

[@jamfjord]

Thanks for doing this test, Robert - super helpful 👍 I saw somebody doing an airbrushing demo at a show a while back who suggested using Frog yellow tape, I've been using it since, and it's a huge saving. The performance is not quite on a par with Tamiya tape in my experience, but pretty close and fine for covering larger areas. Also the tip to moisten the edges is worth a try, I'll be giving that a go later today. But anyway, great video with thorough tests - and I feel validated 😅😇 Congrats on 100k, and I reckon that infernus space marine would look awesome in Steel Pumpkin! Barbatos chapter 😉

[@jamfjord]

Also, I swear by that yellow Frog tape for any decorating or touch-up jobs around the house too. Nothing worse than fixing a chip on the door frame only to take half the paint off the wall with the masking tape 🤦😅

[@dustymartian624]

100,000 congratulations!!!!!

[@bobrivett7645]

I'm going to look for these delicate surface masking tapes. Thanks for the video. And 100k subs is happening.

[@busterscustoms]

100k followers congrats

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you, we did it 😅

[@robertflagle7076]

Good job! 100k subscribers!

[@GeorgeDemos-r3z]

I have used these on home painting projects Congratulations

[@cmyhalsky]

Excellent, thanks for covering these two!

[@GregAtlas]

I've used both tapes. Love the yellow frog tape. The scotch tape I got to try doesn't seem to be nearly as strong as yours turned out to be. It would be lifting up, especially when exposed to paint almost as if its adhesive was as strong as a post it note or even possibly weaker. Mostly bad on curved surfaces. I might have to give it another chance after this, but I do really like the yellow frog tape.

[@7mo0od70]

Congratulations for 100k

[@REOmodelworks]

You are almost there excited for you

[@barbatosrex9473]

Me too! So close

[@mikec2810]

Almost there Robert!

[@Waltkat]

Really appreciate your tape testing. I sometimes leave tape on the surface of a model for days before peeling it off. Sometimes the tape does pull some paint off, though I'm currently using the Scotch blue masking tape.

[@jeremygwiz]

I love your videos so helpful!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you Jeremy

[@williamfotiou7577]

Congratulations, keep up the good work! 👍

[@michael_schreiner]

Hi from good old Germany. Like the testings and your experiences!❤

[@KitModelGuy]

This looks like a great tape, I will be picking up them now

[@darrenhillman8396]

Great video. Best wishes on the 100k subs! Wont be long now!

[@WTJr65]

Thanks for the demonstrations. I know which two tapes I'm going with.

[@jukuloma]

Thanks for the shoutout 😁🤘

[@barbatosrex9473]

Anytime my friend, I'll be playing your CD again this week 🤘

[@user-mc4sq3fk5d]

Rex: Any plans to do another Q&A video? The last one was very educational. On to 100k my friend.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yeah I might do one for the big giveaway video.

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

Thanks Rex, I need some tape and I'm going to Wally World tomorrow... I use that Dupla-Color primer all the time from Orileys. In fact payday I'm just going to buy a quart can and airbrush it... LLAP 🖖

[@brucek3217]

I've been using Frog Tape - I get it at Lowes if that helps anyone. Great video ! 👍

[@Waltkat]

The green or the yellow?

[@brucek3217]

@@Waltkat I use the yellow, the wide roll. I honestly never tried the green.

[@Waltkat]

@@brucek3217 The green is all my Lowes carries. Though maybe I haven't been paying attention. The green is fairly thick and sticky. Does a good job around the house and still peels off easily.

[@brucek3217]

@@Waltkat I will check next time I go to lowes and see if they still have the yellow. I live in Florida so maybe all their stores are not the same ? I am not sure. I know a builder that does all the aztec patterns on his star trek ship models with the Frog yellow tape - that is how I found out about it. He makes those paint mask patterns with 100 tiny pieces LOL. so after I saw that i picked up a roll. I do use the cheaper blue tape they carry for just masking off non important things but any fine work I use the Frog tape 👍

[@derekb370z]

Try Sherwin williams they carry both green and yellow

[@Psychoemch]

Great video! And good luck on the 100K subscribers! Btw where do you get your respirator mask?

[@Blu3ManiC]

100k play button will be a nice addition to the bench background.

[@georgecox461]

Thanks again for the testing

[@KGOlderWizer]

Wow, it’s almost 100k, how cool is that! I’m sticking with Tamiya.

[@kevinkerlin5603]

100k mark nice within reach I say this month

[@vinnygallino5217]

It comes in the Box to keep it clean but really the paint is activated play moistening The Edge so if it's exposed to the elements it'll pull moisture from the air and then it won't have that technology so that's why it comes in the Box

[@dim1723]

Never seen that scotch tape thanks! I'll order it!

[@BAMACOUPE]

That GoneGump is a great guy! ;)

[@CharlesO-b2r]

Looking for these delicate masking tapes myself to test. Thanks for the video

[@dragoonoly3084]

Steel fruit color sounds like a good paint line. Need a Steel Kiwi.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I'll make a note, the question is Steel Avocado or Kiwi

[@dragoonoly3084]

@barbatosrex9473 I would say, avocado would be more muted color, and Kiwi would be brighter color. That's my suggestion.

[@jamesevans7056]

Steel blueberry ❤

[@ausfoodgarden]

Hey mate, I hope for your well-deserved 100k giveaway you might include something your international viewers could receive. Nice to see your results with the Frog tape match up to mine. I've never tried the Scotch as it's way more expensive where I am (Australia). Cheers!

[@mikepoindexter9849]

Thanks Robert.

[@Xxxxxxxxxx3582]

Which metallic paints would you recommend me for painting an aircraft? I have nothing so they are new for me and I have access to ammo, ak interactive, vallejo, mr color and alclad. Thanks in advance, Angel

[@barbatosrex9473]

Mr Color and Alclad

[@Xxxxxxxxxx3582]

Thanks for your prompt response.

[@ricksattler682]

I love Frog Tape, a tad spendy but it works great. So close to 100K 😀

[@michaelprasun2945]

mr barbatos, As a leather worker i use all kinds of blades in my trade. did you know you can strop xacto knife blades it makes the last more and a strop is easy to make go to like lowes and get a 5 gal stir stick make sure is flat go to hobby lobby and buy the single sheet of leather that is about the size of a paper glue it to the stir stiick fuzzy side up thenget some white or green rubbing compund in stick for and there you go

[@barbatosrex9473]

Great info, thanks

[@harveykeeler2661]

Just another great video

[@7mo0od70]

For the tape is the thickness important

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes, these are pretty thin

[@SeasparrowDD979]

99.9 subs!!!👍🏻 Tamiya just lost me as a tape customer!

[@modelrestorations]

Excellent info!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@derekb370z]

Based off of feel the yellow frog tape reminds me of the tamiya tape

[@JasonWard-j4h]

Thank you, keep it up

[@gitss7367]

Getting really close now.

[@barbatosrex9473]

So close

[@arby796]

Man you are tasting that 100k now!

[@tcandle695]

Tamiya tape is a rice tape called washi tape in Japan. The pink 3M tape is a washi tape so is the same stuff like Tamiya. Happy 100k subscribers 😊

[@PB4UG02Bed]

Steel grape would be nice, I have to buy another steelnapple two bottles wasn't enough for sazabi.

[@jasondixon2828]

Never lay your tape down either, and always burnish tape for sharp edges. The first pass should always be light to seal tape. When you remove it, pull back gently and at a 45 but on itself.

[@zazen69]

BackaddaBenchhh! Is your primer solvent based? Can it be sanded?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes and yes

[@itmikepensacola1658]

Steel Avocado

[@barbatosrex9473]

That's a good one

[@cemdrahsan270]

Hi, from Turkiye...

[@barbatosrex9473]

Hello my friend 👋

[@stuarthanna2417]

With these tapes one would expect that they won't pull up lacquer or lacquer based acrylics. You need to test the tapes against water based acrylics.

[@dim1723]

Was just wondering about this. yet frog tape is just never sticky enough.

[@Wild-Dad]

Canadians will be visiting the states more often now since Tamiya spray paint is now banned from being imported into the great white north. Good only knows why - possibly something about the propellant.

[@JustinBlackfaceTrudeau]

Look at the clown who is our environment Minister, says it all.

[@habbyguys]

After watching this video I went out and bought the frogtape. Put it on my 67 GTX that was painted with white gloss rustoleum 2X ultra cover paint and primer. After painting what i wanted, I proceeded to take the tape off and along with the tape came off the glossy part of the paint. Anyone else have that happen?

[@stonefarmer3005]

I carry it at you local Dunn Edwards Paints, if your in the south west US

[@fabonline9389]

99.9!!!

[@doublenickelbob]

How about washi tape?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I will test that too
