I’ve mentioned my tape sandwich method before:
Mask your material.
Cut.
Apply blue painters tape to the entire surface before you remove the material.
Remove taped-up piece, all the cut parts should come with it.
Flip and tape the other side. Now you have a tape sandwich.

Press the tape down thoroughly like you’re applying masking.
