It worked real well, got sharp lines but it was tedious to reapply the tape after each coat dried.

Any other ideas? I actually did a lil R&D and tried spraying stuff on the painters tape and Pledge worked the best but the feasibility of not getting Pledge on the stuff you want Dipped seems dim.
Its tough to remove your masking after applying the Plasti Dip. I think its best to let it cure for a few days before removal. I just removed the masking tape slowly, I used painters tape to be specific. I also used a razor to help cut the Plasti Dip when it was sticking to the tape. Looks like yours came out pretty good, no?
