Masking material for Baltic Plywood

Blue tape will rip up bb wood fibers. It’s too tacky.

Masking not adhering to wood well? Try sanding your piece first

Kind of says it all in the subject. I bought some more BB last week or so, and my masking which worked well (transferrite) on the previous batch was just peeling up like crazy. I looked really closely and there were tool marks on the surface, shallow grooves running the whole length of the wood. I gave it a quick sanding with ~400 grit sandpaper, wiped all the dust off, and I was back in business. Don’t forget to use a squeegee or something to press the masking down.
