painters blue tape

not sure if this is posted before, but i detailed my car and sealed it with meg #21. i put on 2 coats, with 24 hours between them. 24 hrs after the second coat, i put on some blue tape on my front hood and bumper and some on my side skirt for my road trip. the tape was on for about 12 hrs. will it take off the sealant that i applied a couple days ago? the tape did wonders in keeping of rocks and bugs but i'm afraid it'll strip my sealant?

heat should loosen up the adhesive or get adhesive remover but idk if it will mess with the sealant. If you could put up a pic I could give you better advice

Stop worrying. Your sealant is fine.

If you're still unsure take 10 minutes and reapply.
