Vinyl resists etchant just fine, no need fiddling with masking, electrical,
or kapton tape. It is much easier to cut and weed (remove unwanted vinyl)
while it is still on the backing. Then apply with application tape just as
if it were going on a sign.

cutting some vinyl or maybe masking tape? Then transfer the cut vinyl or
tape to a copper clad FR4 board. Or maybe better yet, bond the tape or vinyl
to the copper clad FR4 and then cut. Remove the unwanted vinyl or tape and
etch the board. I have not tried this technique exactly, but have done a few
boards with hand cut tape. If the etchant doesn't leak under the tape or
dissolve the tape, it works fairly well. The trick might be to find the
right tape, perhaps Kapton tape, or wide electrical tape?
