Secure the Leading Edge of the Masking Film

What happens here

Given the wind direction, identify the side of the window where the wind is coming from. Begin by tacking down the tape along this leading vertical edge, working your way down the window frame. This initial securement prevents the wind from catching and tearing the plastic film as you continue masking. The wind will help carry the loose plastic away from the window, making it easier to manage.

Goal: The painter secures the side of the masking film that faces the incoming wind first, working downwards to ensure the film remains taut and sealed.
