it wont, if you cover the surface in masking tape itll be there forever. cover it in clingfilm or something the resin cant soak into if u want it to be removable

rite o! got the haynes ice manual here. ses to put the masking tape down then cover it in a waxy polish (suppose shoe dubbing would work) then it lays the matting over the whole floor in 1 and pushes into place roughly. then use plenty of resis to soak the matting all the way through. once that is done its applied on in 3-4" strips to build up thickness and they use a roller to get all the air out.
