Direct Answer For Masking Residue Tests
Approve one painted plywood masking scrap before repeating the job; the proof has to show the physical setup, not just the file preview.
Tape Lift On Painted Bookmarks
Masking can protect a bookmark design or ruin the painted edge during peel.
Painted Plywood Scrap Steps
- Apply the same tape to scrap from the painted plywood sheet.
- Peel slowly after the mark cools and inspect the paint edge.
- Stop if residue, lifted paint, or hidden weak contrast appears.
Masking Scrap Approval Checks
Check | Pass | Stop
Tape brand | Brand and peel timing are recorded | Tape choice is unknown
Paint edge | Paint stays attached after peel | Edge lifts or flakes
Residue check | No sticky border remains | Adhesive catches dust
