So I've been working on making a foam scout helmet (from Reach) everything has been going great, got it assembled, painted, and weathered. Unfortunately I made one big mistake, I had several sections of the helmet that I wanted to remain black, so I just covered the plastidip with regular masking tape. My schedule was kind of hectic, so painting took several days; a couple of painting sessions were also in pretty hot weather. Fast forward a few more days, the rest of the helmet is finished, weathered and looking awesome. Today I go to remove the masking tape, only to find that it is leaving a good deal of sticky residue and it even pulled up multiple sections of the plastidip.
So obviously it's kind of ruined, I tried to pull up the remaining plastidip, but that didn't really work. I figured my only move is to re-plastidip it, using enough coats to hopefully hide the nasty imperfections. Before I do that, I wanted to see if you guys had any tips on how to remove old plastidip.
I'll try to post some pictures in the morning, so people can see what happens when you improperly use masking tape. :facepalm
