Tamiya masking tape + Future = ?

Post by PetarB »

Hi Folks
About to do some canopy masking - and since the masking tape is likely to be on the canopy for about 2 weeks while various overcoats dry, I'm getting a bit worried. I've never left Tamiya masking tape on for so long over Future. Future's been curing for around a day or so, so far. Before I start masking up, has anyone had any problems with leaving Tamiya masking tape against Future for this long?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Erin!
Now, where's your address so I can invoice you when it lifts? :twisted:


No, seriously, thanks Erin. It's for a competition in a couple of weeks, and I just wanted to be sure. First model comp I've entered for.... 15 years.
Now I can mask with confidence! Thanks again.

I've left Tamiya tape on models for years....
Sad but true.

Besides, if a little residue remains some Goo Gone will clean it off without damaging the Future beneath.
