Buy a spudger, it's one of the best tools you can find when it comes to pulling your kits apart.

Tamiya Masking Tape is your best option. Liquid Masking solutions don't always work well.
I would also get a nylon spudger:

The nylon is soft enough to not rip up the masking tape but hard enough to press it down into the groves of pieces to make sure you get good protection.
The original black stick is pretty good but for bigger things like laptops and monitors you'll probably be better with something like this, some last longer than others but all are disposable, they are soft that's what are made for :)
I just built the MG Epyon EW a few months ago and it definitely didn't come with water slides. It came with a dry decal sheet, a small sticker sheet for eyes, sensors, and orbs, and a sheet of sticker decals. Did you get them extra with the kit? Also I found the best way to do dry rub decals is to cut out around it, then tape it to the kit and rub it on. I use a Nylon Spudger. /u/goodguydan recommended it, and I think it's a great tool with a lot of uses.
With those mechanix, it generally isn't a problem. For the stubborn/inset rj45's I keep a plastic spudger handy. (surprisingly usefule for lots of tasks.) http://smile.amazon.com/3M-SP3010-Nylon-Spudger-Tool/dp/B001DD1UJS
But i dont usually have my gloves on when doing patching; just for racking and opening cases.
The only thing I don't like doing with gloves is screws.
Adding on to what everyone else has said, /u/goodguydan introduced me to the spudger on his beginner's guide. Didn't know these things existed and some of the reviews are hilarious.
You don't have to shell out money for a piece of plastic, but I would recommend using something other than a metal blade to reduce the chance of scratching or otherwise damaging parts when disassembling. I've grown used to the nylon spudger, but I imagine you can fasten something similar out of a piece of "softer" plastic.
