Masking tape tip
« on: 17 May 2011, 18:35:24 »
I've just been doing a bit of spray painting and used a technique that I discovered many years ago. Old masking tape tends to come off the roll in small bits also if you can get a useable strip off it usually has lost most of its tack. I have found that if you give the tape a thirty second ding in the microwave it works a treat .The tape that I used must be at least ten years old. When I removed it from the oven it was as good as new. :)

Actually, I thought Den was on somewhat of a roll and had it taped.  He has a way of getting to the grip of the thing without being tacky.   :y
