    re painting heads

    Has anyone got any good ideas how to easily mask woods prior to painting. Using masking tape with the big curves and subtle angles is a pain. I have heard of everything from plastic paint to plaster of paris to cover the areas that dont want paint. Any ideas.

    I have repainted lots of drivers, 3 woods etc. Each time I have used masking tape. What you need to have is a sharp exacto knife handy to trim the tape along the lines. Works great.

    Electrical tape, never used it and I would think it might have a tendency to lift along the edges.

    I have used break line tape that is used for masking off break lines on vehicles, but masking tape works fine for me.

    Use 1/2 inch along the edges and 1 inch to cover the rest of the head.
    My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.
