I started to find dark flecks in my paint jobs so I had to have a look at my needle assembly. Turns out that I had a layer of crud that built up over time. Cleaned it out with wire brush cleaners and piksters so hopefully I'll keep this in check.

Thanks but - dammit - I only just now noticed that I put my comment in the wrong sub-section of this creative stuff section. Should I delete and re-post elsewhere?
Prepping a figure for painting and I tried giving the surface of the toy a light scrub with a steel brush which scuffs the plastic, providing tooth for the primer to grab onto.
What is the best method for removing the gum from masking tape without leaving residue that ruins attempts to paint over where it was? I am painting wood.
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.
