Any of these suggestions might work, unless the surface is genuinely FUWT.
We’re all familiar with this issue. You pick up a lovely, original example of item X from a thrift / estate / garage sale. It’s just about perfect, except for this inexplicable piece of masking tape stuck to some part of the paintwork. Nothing is written on the tape, nor is the tape securing anything in-place.
But it’s there – it’s been there since god was in diapers – and it’s not coming off to save your life. Your new acquisition is officially FUWT.
(F*cked-Up With Tape – It’s a syndrome where the organic acids in some tape adhesive, and plain old white masking tape is the #1 culprit – have eaten into the finish and permanently etched it.)
