The trouble with what you're not using it for is it won't hold well on the back while you're cutter does it's stuff. Probably okay for big shapes but anything fine or text wise it might weed itself out, if that happens it's likely to get stuck under the blade and then the blade won't cut the rest of the job properly.

Aside that though you shouldn't need anything more sticky. I use paint mask which is a bit thicker and is designed to take solvent paint so it's handy if I need to mask any chrome logo's or anything. The stuff you're using will crinkle up if you apply solvent to thick so be careful with that.
Thanks for the info

Do you have a link to which I could have a look/order the specific paint mask you have used?
