What happens here

The masking process continues with specific attention to electrical outlets and windows. The presenter applies blue FrogTape to the edges of the electrical boxes where covers were previously removed. He then uses specialized "Socket Blocker" devices to fully cover and protect the internal components of the outlets and switches. Moving to a window, he applies 72-inch masking film, securing its edges with green FrogTape along the window frame to ensure no paint bleeds onto the vinyl surface. He also utilizes a '2-Edge 5-in-1 Tool' to achieve clean, crisp lines when trimming the masking film.

Goal: Protect electrical outlets and windows from paint
