This tidbit learned may be worth sharing, especially as it may serve to save others time and grief: I was contemplating how to cut masking tape in order to paint a second color next to the Nervex lugs on my bike (the negative space). Alas, I figured that by hole-punching the tape, I could get the perfect sized 'masking dot' to cover the circular part of the cut-out. Multiplying the trick times the number of erstwhile xacto-knife gouges ends up amounting to significant relief from pain and tedium.
