Default Plasti dip question

I am trying to make a straight line of plastidip on my truck but I can't it out! I've been using Scott's blue but when I go to peel it off it tries to take plastidip off with it am I just not letting it dry enough or am I letting it dry too long?

use a razorblade and go down the edge of the tape before you peel it off

I just don't want the razor to catch my paint

Letting it dry too long. Heavy coat, peel tape as soon as it is sprayed, them spray lower portion up to the heavy coat normally

Check out Dipyourcar.com. There is a video where he layers the dip and also where he paints a hood and shows the easiest and quickest way to get a strait line. No razor needed and I used the same method for my rocker panels and they came out strait

Another question. How do you get it on evenly when it's out of a spray can it looks uneven in spots am I doing it wrong or do I need to get a sprayer and get plastidip in the non-spray can
