In my experience, a smooth surface (glossy or satin) works best.

Thank you, I sort of thought that might be the case. It seemed liked a flat surface would hold too good and not want to peel like it should.

Space Ranger is right. A glossy surface makes it easy to remove. What brand of mask are you using?
