we're going to give you a look at masking a window. So, this is what quite a few of the windows look like, you know, in this new construction house. Uh there's nothing right here but um a 2x6 and um cut drywall cuz there's going to be a wood window sill put on there. So we've got a drywall uh three-sided. I'm going to be masking. I always take and puts you know 1 in on my hand masker cuz it releases a lot easier when you're pulling it off versus inch and a half. I got my tough gaff with me cuz this is what I tack the sides with and mask the sides and bottom with using frog tape. uh blue. This is um their blue painters tape right here. 14-day release, you know, because um the the tape's going to stay on here sometimes multiple days. And so, you don't want to use a production tape on here if you're going to be leaving, you know, the tape on there, especially if it's going to be on there for more than 3 days. Frog tape, orange, you know, their ProGrade production tape that's got a 3-day release. And if it's going to be on there for more to me more than a day, I typically am going to be going with blue as my um tape to mask windows off. So
