                        Okay, that subject line didn't make sense, but I couldn't figure out a better way to say it.  

                        I'm not new to this forum.  I used to have an account many years ago.  It's under an email account I can't remember.  *sigh*.  Anyway...

                        I've been modelling off and on for years.  I just had several models damaged beyond repair from a fire in my office.  So starting up again.  Once I get a grip on this site I'll post some pictures. I'm currently working on the finishing touches on a Tamiya 1:48 Douglas A-1H Skyraider.  Having a bit of an issue with my masking peeling off my paint.   

                        Hope everyone is having a great start to the new year.

                        Welcome aboard lots to learn here.

                        De-stick the tape,I stick it to the fridge a couple of times,removes some tack.

                        If your using acrylic paints,you need a good enamel or lacquer primer,and it needs to cure,not just dry

                        Hope this helps.

                        Hi Mike! Welcome back to the hobby and the Forum!

                        Ditto on what Tojo said above. I use Rustoleum primer and decant it for use in my airbrush. Large models I use it right out of the can. Big can lasts a long time.

                        Stay safe.

                        I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

                        I think it's 3 or 4 days. Hang in there. It'll be over before you know it.
