After 30 years of masking tape usage on a wide range of boating applications, I and many other sailors, have found that UV degradation is the real culprit. We use the blue or bright green ( 3x more expensive ) by 3M - only. It's designed to lift, leaving little or no residue even after 10 days / 2 weeks. Be careful after more time than that ! Duct tape is very sticky and designed for wrapping metal ductwork - permanently. Inexpensive, tan paper tape masking tape will degrade overnight if it gets any moisture and with sunlight light after a day or two and it will be a bear to get off wax or not.
