This is a good idea , although I did multiple coats. By the time I finished my last I would think the bottom layers would dry up a bit. Next time I dip something Ill def try to just hit it hard once and remove the tape while its still wet

Aren't you suppose to do 3-5 layers and leave 8-12 minute in between each layer? By the time you get to the last coats and peel the tape, its hard for me to get those sharp lines. Do you suggest heavier coats and pulling the tape way earlier?

The best thing to do is simply scribe the edge with an exacto knife. Use two or three layers of masking tape, and you will have a nice guide for the knife to scribe. You don't have to use a lot of pressure.
