[QUOTE="cloudborn, post: 5303628, member: 4343"] I’m having problems removing the aztec paint masks on my Discovery Enterprise…the masks are leaving adhesive on the painted surface when I remove them. I'm puling the masks slowly at an angle over itself, sometimes it comes off clean and other times it leaves adhesive. The masks are stuck really tight to the model so I used a blow dryer to heat and soften the masks up as other pros have recommended. That seemed to work, the masks pulled off easier, but then I noticed there was something staying on the model surface as I removed each mask. I thought it was paint debris at first and continued removing the masks until I noticed my fingers were sticking to the model…it was adhesive not paint. Is there something I’m doing wrong while removing the masks? I painted using acrylics so I can’t use alcohol or other solvents to remove the adhesive without damaging the new paint. Anyone have a trick to remove the adhesive? [/QUOTE]
