David, how long do you wait to remove the masking after painting? I've seen where paint on the model is sometimes removed with the masking. It may take days for paint to fully cure and harden. Would it be better to remove the tape while the paint is still pliable and uncured?
Or does not not even matter?Comment

Once you handle the model with your scummy, oily, greasy, smelly paws it is contaminated with what is, in essence, a release/masking agent that must be removed before applying any of the above mediums. If you don't, the primer won't adhere properly to the model. And this applies to the later overcoats as well.

I don't see you using that fine line tape. Why not? I have the blue which is flexible. And the brown which is good for straight runs. The fine line tape does give a nice sharp edge. The painters tape is certainly great for custom curves where fine line tape will not work.Comment
