Warren, Lay down a couple of layers of the high-quality blue 3M masking tape and carefully cut your curves thru the layers with an Exact-o knife. I used a flexible ruler to duplicate the curves on both sides of the boat. The lead in the ruler holds the shape well enough to transfer the curves to the other side. With light pressure on the blade, cut just through the bottom layer of tape and peel away the extra. Be sure to press the edge of the tape down tight to avoid bleeding under the edge. Once the trim cures, you may have to cut the black trim at the tape edge, but usually the tape is strong enough to peel away in one piece. Below is a picture taken before painting the topsides with blue 2-part poly where I masked off the trim to prevent any drips from running over the black. Bill Scheumann USA020 and USA040
