AMAZING Cabinet HACKS! Masking to SPRAY.

What happens here

Select the correct type of plastic masking film. Two types are shown: a black film (standard) and a blue film. The blue film, specifically 3M Advanced Masking Film, is recommended because it is treated with a chemical that prevents paint from flaking off. While the blue film is about double the cost of the standard black film, it saves significant time and effort in cleanup, especially for smaller projects where only one roll is needed.

Goal: Select the appropriate masking film for paint projects.

couple of tips to start out with and the first one is use the correct kind of plastic so we've got two different colors we got blue and we got black and one of them is flake resistant right John it is indeed you want to use the blue advance masking film it's treated with a chemical that's going to keep your paint from flaking all over those pretty cabinets you just worked so hard on that masking does cost a little bit more the plastic because it is treated with that chemical what's the cost difference between these two you're really gonna pay about double for the stuff with the blue ink over the black ink but it is going to save you a huge headache especially on a small product like this you're really only gonna use one roll it's worth the maybe six bucks
