masking issues
Trucker:
after spraying my racing rc yacht i was quite pleased with the finish, but im left with small ridges along where the tape was, so, is it possible to remove the ridge and still keep the nice finish else where and have an even smoother hull...

Taranis:
With my limited experience I would advise the first rule is to not be hasty and let it harden for several days before touching it. Someone more experienced hopefully will suggest a safe way to lessen the ridge
Stan:
I have over the years used very fine wet and dry with washing up liquid. Apply very gentle pressure on the raised edge.If your colour is dark this may leave light marks in the paint these will go when the area is varnished. Someone may a better idea or method.

Is this effect caused by leaving the tape on too long? If so try rubbing with the chamois leather. It often works. nemesis
Stan:
No I remove my tape straight away and still always have a small ridge applying high volumes of paint will not help. I let the paint harden then I use the method above and never had a problem but like I said earlier some one may know a better way.
