Tack a small piece of tape (like Scotch or Tamiya) on a top corner of the tape and peel back from the backing material. For higher tack tape, also place tape on the bottom corner to pull apart. to the degree wanted. I fold back a corner of the backing material to facilitate positioning the tape before removing the remainder of the backing. Great response, as always, @Mozart . Gene K

Looks like you’re on the right track Mark, practice then is the thing! Good luck. Max

Firstly Mark (oh, and welcome!) what transfer medium are you using? Some are better than others, I always use the Cricut stuff, it’s so much better than Frisket for instance. Doing the Balkenkreuze, my method is always to firstly put an “empty” mask in place. Sometimes I prepare one specifically when I am designing the mask sheet, or I carefully lift the parts out of the actual mask using the transfer sheet. Then spray the empty mask area with white. When that is dry, carefully replace the mask elements which are still on the Cricut transfer sheet, so effectively the whole mask is back together as one. Finally, weed out the black area masks and spray. Remove the remaining masks when dry. Hope this makes sense and helps! Unfortunately I don’t have any sequence shots of doing a Luftwaffe mask, but this recent Typhoon roundel illustrates the principle, especially steps 1 and 2: Max
