How to Mask Off a Kitchen! Masking off Cabinets for Airless Spraying!

What happens here

After taping the face frame edges, use a 3M Hand-Masker M3000 tool loaded with masking paper and tape. Align the masker's tape with the previously applied tape on the face frame, ensuring the paper covers the entire drawer opening. Secure the paper by pressing the tape firmly to the frame. For additional security or in areas where a different tape type might be preferred, you can switch the masker to use orange production tape to fill any remaining gaps.

Goal: Completely cover the drawer openings to prevent paint entry.

Tools and materials

All right, so I got to all my face frames all masked for my drawer fronts right now. Now I'm going to take and cover them with paper. I'm going to use paper to cover it up. Show you how, go about doing that. It's going to stick right to the face and the paper is going to stick just like that. Now I'm going to flip this up. And that'll stick just like that to my face. Now I can fill it in. I can use, but I want to use production tape. I can take and fill it in with production tape. If I'm really conscious about trying to save money, I can just use, you know, one inch production tape just to make sure I don't have any leaks or holes there. You can even take, switch out to blue, put production tape on this portion of it and just use one inch to save yourself some money. When you start masking off a lot of boxes, you could save you a little bit of money. Just take your time, measure it out. Don't get too far. If you're short a little bit, that's where you can just put a piece of tape that'll stick to the face of that adhesive and cover that leak same right here. That would be a leak right there easy to fill that in, just like that. Come down to the bottom where we got our masking line along the bottom. There we go.
