Thanks for all the input, guys. Sounds like I didn't go wrong taking the salesman's advice.
As far as removing the backing first, I don't really have any choice. It separates immediately from the sheet of covering. I bought Cub Yellow, and maybe it's an old roll. I will try to keep my work area clean. Maybe cover it with was paper or something similar.

If you bought from a LHS it could be old.. my backing stays on 90% of the surface though I purchased from LHS as well. I hold my scrap backing too as it makes good templates (for me anyway to cut the opposite side). B/C the paper backing is not completely adheard (which I like, unlike monokote which is next to impposible once you remove the overlapping nonstick edge) so folding over in half to cut both sides at once does not work to well for me with ultracote.
