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

What happens here

To prepare the drawer openings in the cabinet face frames for painting, use 1.5-inch or larger blue painter's tape. Tear off appropriate lengths of tape and apply them to the inside edges of the face frame, ensuring the tape adheres to the backside of the opening that faces inwards. This creates a clean edge for painting and provides an adhesive surface for later attaching masking paper.

Goal: Mask the interior edges of cabinet drawer openings.

Tools and materials

  • Cabinet — The item being masked
  • FrogTape Blue — Masking the inside edges of the face frame

but they both have paint block technology on the edge that swells up and doesn't allow anything liquid to bleed underneath the tape. But now we'll start on, and I'm gonna give you some tips and tricks. Masking the boxes right here, the face frames, and when I'm masking the face frames, I'm always using a inch and a half tape or larger. You can use larger, but then it's gonna cost significantly more money. There's big savings in tape if you can use inch and a half or smaller tape.

So now I'm gonna be wanting to be masking where one of the drawers is.

And this is what your paper is going to stick to is the tape that is facing you right here. So it's gonna be tearing off links, proximate links, stick it behind. Now I actually have the luxury of working with a cabinet I could reach over the top of right here, because this is a cabinet we pulled out of a bathroom that we're doing a remodel on, and the cabinet makeover remodel, taking a oak cabinet and $25 oak cabinet, and turning it into a $500 oak cabinet. So it's gonna look just like that. So I'm gonna do that with all my openings. And once again, I can use blue. You can use inch and a half tape or one inch tape, but it doesn't give you as much room for air when you're putting your paper. I'm gonna be putting paper over the face of that. So you don't have, you can do the same thing with one inch. It's just this gives you a lot more adhesive surface to play with when you're putting your paper on. So I can stick this up inside here. You just wanna make sure you have enough on the backing. So when you push on that or when you're spraying, it doesn't push your paper tape off. I was not masking the drawer guide that has, or the drawer front that has a guide on it. So I'm going to put masking right over the face of this guide right here.
