What happens here

Take your 1-inch masking tape and prepare it by unrolling a small piece. Similar to the paper, the masking tape needs to be loaded 'over the top' onto the 3M Handmasker. Locate the small catch with an arrow on the masker; the tape should go underneath this catch. This mechanism is designed to keep the tape taut and ensure it rolls over the top of the paper, creating a combined masking strip. Once the tape is in place, stick the leading edge of the tape to the craft paper and tuck it underneath the hinge catch. Confirm that the paper, tape, and blade are all evenly aligned.

Goal: Integrate the masking tape with the loaded paper for a combined masking strip.

What they say

Hide

to take my masking tape, 1 inch masking tape. It's the same idea. Get my masking tape ready. And it's going to be over the top. It's going to go right on my 3M hand masker. It's going to be coming over the top. There's a little catch right here. And there's an arrow on it. And if you can't see that arrow, it actually shows you that it's going underneath the catch. It's going to go underneath that catch. And that's what keeps the tape down and actually so it rolls over the top of the paper. Just like that. And then then I'm gonna stick it to the paper. Gonna tuck it underneath my hinge catch. And just like that, I'm going to rip off a piece. So your paper and plastic or paper and tape. And the blade should all be even just like that.
