I have a painting question. I had a problem with the last two rockets I painted, It appears that the blue painters tape I'm using is ruining the gloss on the paint under the tape. I waited two weeks before masking and I have used this tape and paint before without problems. I'm starting to think that the solvents in the paint are going through the tape and causing the paint under the tape to soften and the tape to lift the gloss. I'm using Krylon paint and 3M painters tape for delicate surfaces. I don't understand I have used this combo many times but all of sudden I have this problem. Anyone else seen this before? If so any ideas on how to avoid it.
