Back in the 1980s Model Railroader ran a brief article on using kitchen foil and heat set adhesive to finish stainless steel passenger cars. One letter came back complaining the process did not go well for the modeller. *NM*

In Response To: I watched several Youtube videos on making and applying your own bare metal foil. I would suggest watching the videos and trying the techniques if you are out of bare metal foil and want to try making your own. Just a suggestion. *NM* ()

- Definitely something to consider. On the other hand, it makes you wonder how long any patent has left and why someone else hasn't tried making a competing foil. This is the second time in a decade there's been a supply issue and its not for want of demand *NM*
