What tape do you recommend? The blue 3M shrinks and leaves glue around corners for me, especially when it"s hot, which is most of the time here.yes mineral spirits is a little more gentile than the 710 but both will work. if your tape is leaving residue then you need to find different tape. i have used the finesse tape before. its packing tape with a low tack adhesive. that tape doesnt leave residue when its fresh. key word fresh. if its been sitting around awhile it leaves residue all over the place. i quit using that stuff years ago. there is much better out there.
I would like to paint Black Pearl stipes over white base coat. My question is should I lay down a intercoat clear over the entire basecoat or just over the area where I plan to put the intercoat mixed with the pearl in following coats?
