Tamiya masking tape + Future = ?

Hi Folks
About to do some canopy masking - and since the masking tape is likely to be on the canopy for about 2 weeks while various overcoats dry, I'm getting a bit worried. I've never left Tamiya masking tape on for so long over Future. Future's been curing for around a day or so, so far. Before I start masking up, has anyone had any problems with leaving Tamiya masking tape against Future for this long?
Thanks in advance!

It'll be fine. Proceed with confidence.

Thanks Erin!
Now, where's your address so I can invoice you when it lifts?

No, seriously, thanks Erin. It's for a competition in a couple of weeks, and I just wanted to be sure. First model comp I've entered for.... 15 years.
Now I can mask with confidence! Thanks again.

I've left Tamiya tape on models for years....
Sad but true.

Besides, if a little residue remains some Goo Gone will clean it off without damaging the Future beneath.
