Carefully Remove Masking Tape and Plastic Sheeting

What happens here

Begin the masking removal process by locating a starting point, typically a corner where the painter's tape is easily accessible. In the video, the individual starts peeling from the bottom right corner of the window. Grasp the edge of the painter's tape and begin to peel it away from the surface slowly and deliberately. As you pull, maintain a consistent angle, ideally between 45 to 90 degrees away from the freshly painted surface, rather than pulling straight up. This angled pull helps to prevent the paint from lifting or tearing along the edge. As the tape comes off, the attached plastic sheeting will also detach. Carefully gather the plastic sheeting along with the tape to avoid it flopping onto any still-tacky paint or dragging across the newly painted surface. Continue this slow, steady pull along the entire perimeter of the window frame until all the painter's tape and plastic sheeting have been completely removed. Once removed, dispose of all used masking materials properly.

Goal: Reveal the clean painted surface and protected glass without damaging the paint lines.
