The second item sounds like the window masks. The windows and what not SHOULD be lightly cut out on the sheet. If not, then I would trash them.

To be honest, I never use masks that come with the bodies. I like to use liquid mask and then cut out the needed areas. You have more control and better lines I THINK.

If they are cut out, then clean your body like usual and then apply the masks to the windows. Then use something to burnish the edges. Use a popsicle stick or something soft that wont damage the lexan.

you are supposed to weed out all the excess material on the mask sheet then place the sticky paper on top. this allows you to cut out what you want to use and acurately place them on the body. once they are placed on you remove the sticky paper. its like a diecut decal
