Good idea. That would have saved me having to touch up my paint. If you are cleaning up Permatex, I assume you got your mill head together. All went well?
Henry
Henry,
No, the mill head needs to be painted first. Then I'll tackle the reassembly. I used the Permatex on my lathe and used the alcohol to clean up the squeeze-out with good results.
Despite my attempts as reserving the weekend for working on the mill, it just didn't happen so I'm behind, as usual.

If available to you, try the new "frog" masking tape, it won't stick hard enough to pull off your paint but it creates a barrier along the edge so nothing gets beneath it. It's available at most home improvement places.
November,
That is my plan since I already have some of the frog tape. It's worked well for me in the past so it should work to help keep the squeeze-out contained.

Welcome to the forum. 
You US guys speak a different language to us, LOL Frog tape never heard of it? We have 24 hour, 7 day, 30 day etc tape at the paint stores but it's expensive (something like $7 a roll). I only suggested the electrical tap because most people have it around and it's cheap. You guys are spoiled over there with everything thats available and the prices you get them for and some with free postage, never heard of over here, or if they do they sting you with the price to make up for the postage.
Thats why we all buy from over there.

Dave,

It's just a type of painters tape that they charge more for. I have used it and it does seem to work as advertised. YMMV

Mayhem,
I think this is a good idea, we are working on it

Henry,
Thanks very much that is really nice of you 
We have a Resource forum with a File Section, if you could post it there it would be good. Also in there you can put a link to your Thread. Ties it altogether.
Thanks Henry

Looks like great tape, might have to import some when I line my shed out and paint it.

Ed posted a newer version of this document to the Resources/Files section of this forum. The newer document has a parts list and some suggested tools for the job.
