It has an old piece of masking tape that somebody stuck on to remember where they are, and I want to remove it. It's stuck on there pretty good, and has been there a long time. Obviously I would like to leave the paint and what's left of the finish intact. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 1842 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, May 09, 2012 - 12:42 pm:    Try methylated spirit, it will not soften the paint like thinners or alternatively white spirit(I guess it is a cellulose finish) benson_murrensun Senior Member Username: benson_murrensun Post Number: 609 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Wednesday, May 09, 2012 - 12:49 pm:    Thanks, Terry. Looks like a trip to Home Depot (Homey De Pot?) is in my future.
