When Is It Safe To Remove Tape?


Recommended Posts

I have some pinstriping tape on my project guitar to give a faux binding. I've sprayed some black nitro gloss (stewmac aerosol) up to the tape and I was wondering when it will be safe to peel off the tape? I sprayed my last coat at 7:30pm this evening...

Thanks, Dave

i would say 5 mins. after your completly done spraying; if its still wet just dont hit the area that was sprayed;

paint wont migrate to another part of an object unless it drips there, and if that happens your in need of practice;

any time you paint or do anything with something that dries you are unfamilliar with, put some on scrap in the same method and check that for tackiness, when nothing comes off to your finger your good to go

Well, I waited too long so i scored around the vinyl tape and it came off pretty well. There were a few spots where it came out uneven but I just touched those up with some black nitro on a toothpick.

Thanks for the help all, now I know for the next guitar...
