Default Question about glass/silicone work
How soon do you remove the painters tape (masking) after you lay the silicone? Just did silicone on a new baffle and was just wondering. Thanks in advance!

Personally, I remove it right away before the silicone has a chance to skin over. Once it skins over, and you pull it off, the line will not be as crisp
