When I had this problem quite few years ago, although I got the tape off I was left with the glue, left it and the salt water soon cleared it. Now I use the Blue tape that last 14days which works fine even in wet weather.

Any idea how to best get the masking tape off which was left on a few weeks due to the recent WET weather? Dave.
I can recommend a hairdryer. It really does the job. Glue gets a bit 'stringy' as you gently peel off tape, clean this off with 'Sticky Stuff Remover'.
(I have a really cheap and nasty little plastic hairdryer which I use at work for the odd job, usually rely on nature to dry my short-back-and-sides)
I use various tapes for various jobs but for boat stuff I always use the green Frog tape. More expensive but so much better and can be left longer.

Just to mention that it is worth registering with 3M shop bcz recently they keep do free postage; add in they also have aggressive pricing and suddenly just buy a roll of blue tape is cheaper than getting your car out of the garage ;)
