Removing Masking Tape from Finished Lures

Recommended Posts

I'm curious as to how and what people use to remove masking tape and excess epoxy from finished lures.  I am especially having trouble removing the tape that I wrapped the lexan lips with before epoxy coating.  I don't want to damage the finish or scratch the lexan.  I am a newbie and find this site and content to be fantastic.  Maybe I should be removing tape before epoxy coats and coat lips evenly as part of the finished lure?  Thanks for all the great advice in advance.

Thanks for all the great advice forum members all,  I took my xacto knife, a towel and very carefully began the painful process of trimming off tape and paint without damaging too much of the surface(s).  Lesson learned, from now on I will put the lips on after painting (at the least) and maybe after epoxy coating (trial & error).  As always, we learn from our mistakes (hopefully) and move forward.  It goes without saying, however, that forums like this one save us Newbies years and years of "trial & error" because many of the members have "lived" through these problems before us.  I can't say enough about this site!
