How long did you leave the tape on after you painted it? You should pull tape off ASAP when you paint or this can happen. |

It needed a second coat, so I left it on there long enough to do that. I thought I'd brushed any buildup away, but I guess it can still haunt ya. To get a good coat on the first time would've made the paint really thick, and it would've been darn near impossible to re-mask the camo pattern.

You may want to try a thinner tape such as Scotch tape also as it leaves less of a buildup although it does tend to be a little too tacky. Sticking each piece to your forehead a few times takes some of the tackiness away and helps alot.

If i wouldn't have read that a few times already, I'd have figured you were pulling my leg. LOL I can just see the conversation with my wife. "No, really, these guys on the forum told me it would work well...." ;-)
Hopefully I'll get the AB in the next few weeks. 2 of the next kits up to bat need masking, so hopefully those will be good projects to work on learning my AB skills.
Do you think some sort of very light sanding technique could reduce the buildup that's there?
BTW, Mike, that P-47 of your is looking awesome.
