Questions on dope paint cure time.
« on: February 08, 2020, 01:32:43 PM »
How long should I wait after putting on a color before applying trim/fineline tape? And how long should I wait before pulling the same tape off? I'm concerned with the underlying coat lifting with the tape.

3 weeks minimum.

Maybe less to pull off the tape -- I'd have it off as soon as the dope has tacked off (test by touching the paint on the tape, of course).

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

I don’t wait, don’t use a hair dryer, and pull the tape straight out. Sometimes it pulls off the color, but usually it pulls off everything down to bare wood. I think I need a checklist.
