Question - what might be the best cleaner to use to remove a bit of tackiness left on a NMF finish? The NMF is AZ Interactive XTreme Metal, currently not sealed or weathered. The masking material used was a standard Post-It Note. I’ve considered something like Windex or Goo Gone, but am hesitant because I don’t know how those will react with the paint.
Although I haven’t done this with an NMF-type paint, I have used olive oil in the past to remove adhesive residue from a painted surface on a model.
Goo-Gone is my usual go-to for adhesive removal…but it’ll take that NMF off like lacquer thinner would.
Windex might be a better bet…but I think I’d try a low-tack ‘blotting’ action with the same masking tape first. Done carefully, it might do the job.
One thing I know that doesn’t work is CA accelerator’ I used it once to speed up setting- boy did it make a big blemsh on theNMF!
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried the Windex but the tacky remained, and all I really did there with the light scrubbing I did was to remove some of the paint. Grrrr. So I lightly sanded those areas and repainted. All is well now.
