    To reduce the tackiness of masking tape put the tape strip on your clothes and peel it off, do this a few times.

    I've also heard that it's a good idea to peel the masking tape off of the surface you're painting, a few minutes after it's been painted but I've never tried this trick.

    So several months is not advised?

    I know it's a joke but a long period of time could go 2 ways:

    1.The tape peels away, it might ruin that clean paint job you did 7 months ago.

    2.It peels away damaging the masked paint job you 7 months ago and leaving behind a sticky residue from the masking tape that you now have to
    clean up.

    It came off OK because it had cured properly before I put it on. But there are small mounds of sticky goo where the tape was in places.
