Does anyone have a good way of removing Micro Mask? I have used it to mask a canopy, and it's now stuck fast. If I can't get it off, that's one ruined model...

Help!!!
 
Can it not be just rubbed off? I have also removed stubborn liquid masking with blue tak or even masking tape.

I'm assuming it's the blue stuff?

I just scratched the outer edge with a wooden dental stick and lifted the exposed edge, so long as it's not on for any longer than 24 hrs, I haven't had any real problem with it..

It was the blue stuff - and like I say, stuck fast. Tried lifting an edge - no luck. I have now managed to remove it; soaked it in water, which did get some off, then had to scrape the rest with a No 11 blade, which of course scratched the canpoy. So, lots of polishing with different grades, and then a final dunk in Klear, and everything is ok. Back to Maskol for me in future!
