Airbrushing and over masking. Time?

And I'm more cowardly and let 48 hrs elapse before masking with tape! I'm probably doing the overkill method, but I figure better safe than sorry.

Hi Andrew,

Tamiya paints "touch dry" very quickly, particularly when airbrushed. However, though "dry", it does require more time to cure. Typically, I prefer to leave Tamiya paint to cure at least overnight (min 12 hours, preferably more) before masking.
