Masking Floors and Appliances

if these were cabinets inside of a kitchen, we're also going to be masking the floor off. I do have floor shell. We do use X-Board is probably the most common covering. We put down on floors to protect the floors because nothing will absorb through it. It's actually waterproof and we'll run our X-Board up to our kick plate. And then we'll typically mask it with blue frog tape because we don't want anything bleeding underneath that. We can show you some B-roll of a job that we've done recently with that. So we'd be masking off the floors, wrapping blue frog tape all the way around. And if you're using lacquers, the blue frog tape or green frog tape will have a tendency to curl up when you spray it. If you're spraying multiple coats every time you spray, another coat you want to take and run your fingers over that masking because it does curl up. So you want to push it back down right before you spray. So mask, use frog tape. You don't want to use production tape. The frog tape blue and the frog tape green have the paint block technology that swells up. It doesn't allow anything to bleed underneath. So you don't want to get any bleeding underneath on hardwood floors or tile or anything like that. So you don't want to use your production tape on the floor. And you also don't want to peel up your floor, the coating on the floor is like that if it's hardwood. So you don't want to ever put production tape on a hardwood floor. Now you may also run into some appliances that need to be masked off because you can't remove. And we typically like to remove the appliances. Sometimes you cannot. So we'll mask those appliances off in place like a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a microwave. Usually we won't remove those. So you might run into a scenario like that. We'll show you what it looks like to mask around a refrigerator. We use plastic, cover it up with plastic and get it in there as deep as we can. Like on a refrigerator, open the door on a dishwasher and mask inside as deep as we can in those cabinets. It's always best to remove appliances. If you can, there are scenarios you're going to run into here and there where you just cannot or there's way too much liability. You'll remove them from scratching floors, tearing vinyl, stuff like that. Or even we've run into pulling refrigerators out. And the ice makers begin leaking. And that's a big liability moving a refrigerator. How we typically ask for the clients or customers to have those appliances removed prior to us…
