What happens here

Proceed to the next window and apply the masking tape and plastic sheeting. Given the earlier humidity challenges, using the orange Frog Tape (or green if conditions have improved) is recommended for securing the plastic around the window. Ensure the tape is firmly pressed down along all edges, especially in corners and along the vinyl. Although the paint color for the trim is similar to the vinyl, masking is still a necessary precaution to maintain clean lines and prevent accidental staining.

Goal: Continue the masking process on an adjacent window using the appropriate tape (orange or green Frog Tape) to ensure full protection of the window glass and vinyl trim before painting.

Tools and materials

  • Frog Tape (green or orange)
  • Little Giant A-FORCE300 ladder
  • Pre-taped plastic sheeting

What they say

Hide

Normally when masking windows like this I use inch tape too because it's much more cost-effective, but because of the humidity here today I'm using inch tape because there's a lot more adhesive surface. Today there's no wind, so I don't necessarily have to stick it down. But I like to put a piece of two- inch tape on, stick it down, push it down, tack it, pull it tight. It's drier down here, so the tape sticks because we're under a [Music] wall, so it's not as damp down here.
