If all else fails, I may try your recommendation.
Im thinking that If I have the base texture loaded, any tris I need to hide can be hidden by copying the texture with the hidden trianlgles (painted black) onto the base texture and applying this new texture to the model.
So, what I need to do is...
Load the base texture.
Load the mask texture that has the triangles I want to hide painted black.
merge the two textures.
Apply this new texture to the model.
Whattaya think?
