I have found that is worth while to mask when using Raka adjacent to vertical surfaces to minimize the drips. I peel the tape as soon as the epoxy sets to a fly paper tack. I use a scraper to feather the masked edge of the epoxy the next day. A roller is the only way I can fill coat Raka without runs.
