Transfer tape is great for keeping all the pieces of your mask lined up in correct placement. Just weed out the unwanted portion of the mask---stick the transfer tape over the mask---pull the mask off the backing paper---then stick the mask to your body. As far as wrinkling in the corners---1) you can use a hair dryer (on low heat) to help "convince" the mask to conform properly or 2) you can use a hobby knife (Exacto) and a brand new blade to slit the mask where it wrinkle and take up the slack that way. Just be careful with #2 that the mask seals properly where the join is or you will get paint seeping under the mask.

Hope this is of some assistance:cool: :cool:
