How to Mask Exterior Windows in the Wind in Under 1 Minute!

What happens here

Once the leading vertical edge is secure, move to the bottom edge of the window. Tack the tape along the bottom frame. Then, proceed to the final vertical edge, tacking the tape down, ensuring a complete seal around the window. If there is excess plastic film, carefully tuck and tape it against the window frame or underneath the already applied tape, rather than trimming it, to prevent the wind from getting underneath and tearing it away.

Goal: After the leading edge, the painter systematically tacks down the bottom and remaining vertical edge of the masking film, folding excess film as needed to keep it secure.

direction now i can come over here i like to just move down tack it instead of going all the way i'm going to just tack it right here i'm kind of lucky because i got a lull in the wind right now just going to bring this all the way down now you can see how it is kind of windy you can mask in the wind you can spray in the wind as long as you're conscious and aware and use cardboard shields use a smaller spray tip do things to help control overspray i'm going to tuck this in i don't want to trim it off because if i trim it off it's just going to blow away in the wind so i'm just going to work on this corner as it started to come off i'm going to wrap it over that lip right
