What happens here

For door openings, which are typically taller than drawer openings, use a 3M Hand-Masker M3000 loaded with plastic film and tape. Start by applying blue painter's tape to the bottom melamine surface of the cabinet interior, ensuring no paint bleeds onto it. Then, use the masker to apply plastic film along the inside edges of the door opening, rolling it down and tacking it firmly to the applied tape. This method is effective for larger openings where paper might be insufficient or prone to tearing, and it creates a robust barrier against overspray.

Goal: Mask taller door openings using plastic film to prevent overspray.

All right, now I'm going to mask off my opening. I'm going to start by just putting a masking down on the bottom and masking off the white melamine here first because I don't want any paint bleeding onto my white melamine. Throw a piece of masking down there first. All right, now I've got to my masker set up with my film right here and one inch tapes. I'm going to do the same thing I do with the paper. I'm just going to measure out my plastic right here. Tarot, set it, get in place. Now I'm just going to roll my plastic down, tack it to your adhesive. You can make sure I don't have any leaks along here. This flap is going to just take and tack that down, just like that. If I was unsure if anything was going to leak along that edge,
