I use the same masking tape in a couple widths. I also have orange plastic tape which is even lower tack than the green. The orange tape did not lift paint but the green did. I did the best I could with that. Still I had a few dozen dot repairs to make with a balsa stick. After sanding these blended fine. And after the clear, I should be the only one that knows.

Blue painters tape is what I use to block off the larger areas. Actually, since the Home Depot near me carries the 1" width and wider, I cut the tape with a straight edge into 1/4" strips. I then lay the strips onto the plastic mask making it easier to use the masking paper. The narrow strips go around curves well preserving the artwork. Even the blue tape lifted some dots of base. The dot repairs overall were manageable.

AC100 is not the stuff I used. I bought KC10 which is an organic solvent too aggressive for the regular paints. I must have missed the post on what cleaner to use. I'm sure it's fine for their epoxy and catalyzed urethane. The aerosol can of AC100 has the propellant which might be the problem.

anyway, almost there and I can feel the end point. Thanks Pat
