What happens here

The process for setting up a hand masker with plastic film is similar to paper. Load the 1-inch 3M 2020 masking tape onto the masker, ensuring the adhesive side is facing downward. Next, take your roll of plastic film (e.g., 72-inch film) and feed it over the top of the masker's arm, similar to how paper is loaded. Make sure the plastic unwinds over the top, not underneath, to ensure proper interaction with the tape. Press the plastic film firmly onto the tape to create a secure, continuous masking edge.

Goal: Securely attach the plastic film roll to the hand masker for broader masking.

  • 3M 2020 Masking Tape — To adhere the plastic film to the surface being masked

Got my roll of plastic film. The plastic over the top. You don't want it so it falls underneath. You want the plastic so it rolls over the top. Going to press it on. Make sure it's all the way on.
