    Re: Burning Tape

    And for the record....

    I had all the guys burning their tape before placing it on the 1974 Plymouth Satellite Sebring when we worked with Dennis Gage for this project....

    Autogeek's Pro Detail Team in Kentucky!


    Fresh Air Grills
    That's David aka Truetech74 taping off the fresh air grills on the hood. Before we work on any classic or muscle car with fresh air grills I always inspect the area UNDERNEATH the fresh air grill for compound and polish splatter because most people don't tape-off and cover these openings.

    The problem is for most cars, there's no way to get in there and remove the splatter dots so they are there forever and they are unsightly.

    I pointed these fresh are grills out to everyone and lucky for Jaine, no one has ever splatted product down behind them in the past and our team certainly wasn't going to be the first to do it.







    Protecting Vinyl Graphics
    Here's Billy carefully taping off the outer edges of the vinyl graphics so we didn't harm them or get polish residue jammed against the edges.





    Edges, Raised Body Line & Corners
    For all edges, raised body lines and sharp corners we used 3M Blue Vinyl Tape to cover and protect these.





    And I'm happy to say... there were no mistakes....

    Re: Burning Tape

    On the topic of "burning" the tape, its a really simple solution I have never thought about. It seems most painter's tape these days is really sticky and some "low adhesive" tape I recently tried didn't stick as hard, but did leave some nasty adhesive goo behind.

    Now that I occasionally work on cars that aren't my own, I'm taping more and this should help quite a bit.
