Hi Everybody,

I did some toning on my 19B cabinet today. Naturally, there are areas that aren't supposed to be toned, so I had to cover those. I used some paper and some blue painters tape to do that.

After I was done with the toning, I let everything sit for a couple of hours to make sure that the toner had time to dry nicely. However, when I removed the blue tape, it pulled the lacquer up in a couple of places, and in a couple of other places it left some of it's adhesive behind I just had to strip the outer portion of the front again because it was all messed up.

Has anyone ever had this problem with the blue tape? I've read lots of posts about toning and masking and I haven't seen anyone mention this before. Any ideas why this happened?

Thanks,
Jon
