I fear I may have gone too far, too fast.
I decided to put a beveled leading edge on fins of the rocket I'm now building - totally unnecessary for this rocket, but I wanted to try it out anyway.
I used a low-tack masking tape to mark the edge of the bevel. Came out looking pretty sweet.
Then I applied some thin CA (my first time using it) to strengthen the edge, without removing the mask. I suddenly realized that this might be a disaster, so I removed the masking tape while the CA was drying, and got most of it off, but on two of my fins, there's a tiny bit that is superglued to the fin. Just a tiny bit. I even removed all that I could with my hobby knife.
Can I sand this off? I was thinking that if, after the CA has dried, I applied CWF to the fins and then sanded as normal, the making tape might just come off.
Anybody have this happen? What did you do?
