What happens here

For the sides of the large window, pull the masking film taut and tack it down securely along the vertical frames with 1.5-inch tape, working from top to bottom. If the wind causes the film to lift, move to the opposite side and secure that edge first. The goal is to get a perfect, tight line right on the edge of the window frame. Ensure the film is pressed firmly against the frame to prevent any paint from bleeding underneath.

Goal: Secure the film along the side frames of the large window.
