Has anyone used the Aztec Dummy mask for the Moebius Cheriot? If you have, do you know if you can use them in reverse to mask the inside frames? I'm aware AD has colored vinyl for the inside frames but to be honest I'm not sure I trust anything with an adhesive backing to last a long time. There has been too many times I've seen adhesive backed vinyl, or anything adhesive back, begain to peel away over time. Seems the adhesive drys out and looses it grip.
I'm not suggesting the Aztec Dummy will for sure but I would hate to see it start peeling away over time because that sure would be hard to correct. I am in no way knocking AD, I have several of their products and have used some and have others yet to be used and I am real happy with their quality.

The orange vinyl works great on the inside of the canopy. All you need to do is use a clear sealer, like Future to make sure that there's no peeling.

I have a few pics posted at http://photos.hobbytalk.com/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/50787 that might help.

The secret to using vinyl and not having it peel away is to clean the inside of the canopy with alcohol to remove any mold release and oils from your skin. Afterwards a sealer isn't needed because it will stick wherever it's placed so care must be taken to position them as they will be reluctant to move once in place. I have used this technique on car models for years, and no peeling yet.
