Recommended mask for Avery 900 supercast

I am using Avery 900 supercast for vehicle lettering and am wondering if the current mask has too strong of an adhesive. I peel the mask slow and flat against the surface. I still seem to get bubbles even though I am pretty positive the bubbles are not there before removing the mask. The mask I am using is a higher tack paper mask. I have used a low tack in the past with Oracal and it seemed like the vinyl at times would not lift off the backing with the tape. What type of mask do some of you use with the Avery supercast or should I be doing something different?

Transfer tape (mask as you call it) does not create bubbles in vinyl, inproper vinyl application techniques create bubbles in vinyl. Practice, practice, practice.

Transferrite Ultra 592U - high tack is my preference.

We use R-Tape RLA High Tack. The bubbles are probably because you are not squeegeeing properly, not because of the transfer tape.
