cut all peices first don't apply anything. do one side, then lay the one sides peices back to back with the uncut covering. in essence mirroring the oposite peice. Make sure you acount for the overlap of each peice.

Did you ever cut out paper snowflakes when you were a kid? Same thing...

Fold the ultracote in half (Paper side out) draw your pattern, and as you cut it out, you'll be cutting a mirror image at the same time
