Are there any known issues with the adhesive from masking tape that would impair the properties of Easy-Lease? Also, is there a more appropriate tape to use i.e; automotive masking tape for pin striping etc. All advices greatly appreciated.

I had to place some stripes and cut pieces of "homemade Pro-finish" in a mould, with easy-lease on its own that did NOT work at all the tape dis not stick at all .. everything moved around when setting up for infusion second time around I waxed the areas where I wanted the tape to stick . For my purpose it worked .. but to trust it for spraying gelcoat ... hmmmm .... "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW! The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind... 103% of all people do not understand statistics... Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
