Quote from: jtwill98 on March 17, 2026, 06:07:39 PMHave you considered using High Temperature Powder Coating Tape or Kapton tape used for masking sensitive connectors while hot air soldering of electronic components? 

I suspect simple strait lines like those you tried for the Pink Floyd  logo look on one of your reels would be a good candidate for TekLine Glass Cloth High Temperature Powder Coating Tape.

Kapton tape might also work as its is good up to 300-400 degrees Celsius. It's is inexpensive, easily cut and might work to mask off areas for a multi-stage finish (masking before a "green bake", then adding a second coat before the final cure.

You might want to experiment with a some sheet metal using some stencils or Cricut (if your wife has one) or similar device to cut the masks on the Kapton tape and apply the masks prior to powder coating.
I do not have a Cricut Machine yet .  You have peaked my interest in this Kapton tape , I am not familiar with it .  Can you provide a link ?   Yes that was the problem to get the prism lines of color .

I am trying to do the badges . There is vacuum tool to remove unwanted power , like the size of a needle .  Or I can paint when the hands are steady and do clean up before the bake . I will get there sooner or later !
