I tried my first cloth inlay and it came out fine. My painted rails where the tape was, pulled off some of the paint on my rails. I use Scotch 2727 tape to tape off the rails for the inlay. Should I have put the inlay first before painting. Should I use a different tape? I was told this is a good tape for resin. If anyone can provide a bit of guidance it will be appreciated. Thanks. Mike.
Howzit mf, The trick is to heat the tape with a heat gun or hair dryer as you pull it because it softens the adhesive and the tape won't pull the paint off. Another thing is to spray some clear Krlon on the paint before taping on it but always use the heat when pulling the tape. That is a trick that has been discussed since around 2002 and is also in the archives. Aloha,Kokua
