What happens here

Once the faceplates are removed, take the clear plastic "Socket Blockers." For electrical outlets, firmly press the blocker into the receptacle openings. For light switches, position the appropriate blocker over the switch toggles and press it into the junction box opening. Ensure each blocker sits snugly and creates a tight seal against the wall around the edges of the electrical box, ready for painting.

Goal: Mask electrical devices to protect them from paint.
