Title: Removal of old Masking tape........ Post by: wa2rqy on June 25, 2008, 11:08:47 AM Yeah, you know the type, those guys that put masking tape all over the front panel with numbers, lines, etc. written all over them >:(
After x amount of years this tape is almost impossible to remove without scratching up the FP. I have been very successful with this method. Lay the masking taped item horizontally(tape up), apply a nice thick coating of a Lanolin based hand cleaner from a can(not the gritty stuff) to the masking tape then lay a piece of plastic wrap, plastic bag, etc. over it so it does'nt dry out. Leave it sit for a day, next morning just wipe it off :D I have not tried this on wrinkle finish, and sometimes it changes the paint color so very slight but becomes normal in a day or so. I have used this method dozens of times on radios, etc that no body would buy at fests ;) Use this method at your own risk, try a small area first till you get comfortable with this method.
