What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the practical masking process within the garage. He uses the tape applicator with 9-inch masking paper and orange FrogTape to meticulously mask around door frames and any adjacent surfaces. He then covers the lower cabinets entirely with large sheets of plastic film, secured with tape. Next, he carefully masks around permanent fixtures such as the water heater and furnace unit using masking paper and tape, ensuring these items are fully protected. All electrical switch and outlet covers are systematically removed to prevent overspray and ensure a clean paint job.

Goal: Securely mask all non-paintable surfaces and remove fixtures that could be oversprayed
