A lot better way SHOULD (I haven't tried it yet) be the way Jon was talking about, if I understood him correctly. Instead of cutting out the frisket, cut out the hole on a piese of .005 or .010 sheet plastic. (Evergreen makes it.) I hope this helps and that it works for you.

                        Hi All, I posted similar questions elsewhere but I haven't gotten very many replies. I hope I'm not breaking Forum rules or anything! I really need some info though. I recently bought some Frisket and a Fiskars Shape Cutter. I've used neither before.Blindfold [X-)] I'm still currently working on my road wheelsAshamed [*^_^*] and I need any tips, warnings or any info regarding these products. I've colored the rubber areas on the road wheels, but now I need to mask in order to AB the hubs. I know you guys have given me tons of info on this subject and I greatly appreciate it! I just need some tips on Frisket and hopefully the shape cutter, but just a list of do's and dont's would be very helpful. Thanks -Spencer
