Try your local sign shop. Bet there's a bunch.

They may give you some for free, including peel n stick color vinyl. Ask for their scraps.

I have frisket in my inventory, and to be honest, I rarely use it. It's flimsy, easily torn or distorted and worst of all it's almost completely transparent, so sometimes you don't know if you wiped off half the mask before you paint (don't ask me how I know), but got dang it, it is reaallly thin, and occasionaly, for airbrush work that superfine thickness saves the day, but oh-so rarely.

These days I tend to err on the side of premask for vinyl cutting, as it's just a massive roll of masking tape. you can SEE when it's in place and it stays. If you find you're lifting your paint underneath you can heat it with a hairdryer to relax the adhesive.


Having recently done a ship this way I was having a terrible time with any of the parts covered in polyspan. It would lift EVERYTHING (dope and all) down to the polyester. Be warned!

Thank yo all for the info that was a big help.

    I have used ordinary paper of any kind, and when finished cutting the mask, turned it over and used 3M Spray Mount Adhesive to apply it. It is basically the same thing as the stickem on a Post-It Note. Coated paper works well.  Self stick shelf paper works OK for large masks. For small stuff, you can shingle layer that green or blue masking tape into as big a sheet as you need on wax paper, then lay out and cut your mask. Lots of ways to skin that cat.
