What happens here

To mask a larger window, position the masker with 72-inch film and 1.5-inch Green FrogTape. Starting at one end of the top trim, apply the tape about a quarter-inch from the edge, tucking it under any drip edge if present. Pull the film tightly across the entire top length of the window, ensuring it is straight and taut. At the other end, gauge the quarter-inch offset, pull tight, and snap to tear the film. Ensure the film is adhered smoothly across the top.

Goal: Secure masking film along the top edge of a large window.

So when you're stretching it out, it doesn't have as much drag. So I do really like green frog tape for masking windows. I'm going to mask a slider right here. So you have the option of going up and pulling this direction. Or you can go down and fill in with paper. On a windy day like this, I could go, it's really hard. It feels like the wind's going this direction. If I went from top to bottom, pulled it that direction, it might work. But right now just masking in the wind. I like to just go from top to bottom. I'll fill in the bottom with paper. You know, and the bottom, right here, we're spraying this all one color to the bottom. I'll just hand roll it. So wind's picking up. We'll see how it goes. You're masking it with plastic now. I'm going to reach over, get that about a quarter of an inch. Got some wind picking up. See how this goes? I'm going to reach over, get this, within about a quarter of an inch. Hold it tight, snap it really quick.
