Personally..when I mask a camo edge, I will only use poster tack.
Mask off the bulk of the area with cheap masking tape and to around the edges with a "worm" of poster tack. This will leave a softer edge than the hard line you'd get with just tape or any tape of masking film or fluid.

Sounds like an idea worth trying. Thanks

That's the beauty of this hobby. There is often more than one way to achieve the results you desire. And some folks, not me, are quite creative at coming up with those new ways and ideas.
