    Terry, I tried that idea of touching up with Klear before painting. Not absolutely sure why, but the Klear stuck the tape to the kit and I had to scrape it off - my scraping ruined the edge I wanted so I had to re-paint. That may all be my fault though. I may have overdone the Klear or maybe it reacted somehow with the adhesive on the tape.

    I have also heard of a similar trick. Some folks spray first with the colour that is already under the tape. That way, if there is any creeping under the edges, it's the same colour so it won't show. The spray should also seal the tape to prevent further seepage.
