How to use a masker. DIY painting, tape, and masking hacks. Using A Hand Masker

What happens here

After applying all the tape and film, perform a thorough inspection of the entire masked window. Check carefully to ensure that no part of the window frame, especially the vinyl or glass, is exposed. If you find any small gaps or areas where the lines are slightly off, use small pieces of 3M 2020 masking tape to touch them up and create a complete seal. Pay close attention to all holes or potential leak points, as paint can seep through these when spraying. Finally, run your hand across the entire perimeter of the masked area to confirm that all tape and film are firmly tacked down.

Goal: Verify that the masked window is fully protected and sealed against paint.

What they say

Hide

Take a look at your window to make sure no vinyl is actually exposed. You can do any touchup with tape. If your lines are a little bit off, make sure all the way around there's no vinyl exposed. If there's little holes, you want to check to make sure there's any holes that could be actually leaks when you're actually spraying the house. Paint could actually leak through there. Once you're all done, rub your hand across the whole perimeter to make sure that it's all tacked down good.
