Fastest Way to Mask Windows for Painting | Pro Tips from The Idaho Painter
What happens here
Position the M3000 hand masker at the top of the window frame. Dispense the tape and plastic, ensuring the tape is placed approximately 1/2 inch from the window pane itself. This small gap is intentional, as caulk will be applied in this area and painted, which is crucial for longevity as unpainted caulk tends to collect dust and dirt over time. Firmly press the tape to tack it onto the surface. As you near the end of the top edge, estimate the required length, tear the plastic and tape from the masker, and then smooth down the entire top edge to create a secure seal.
Goal: Using the hand masker, apply the plastic sheeting and tape along the top interior edge of the window frame, allowing a small margin for caulk application.
