What happens here

Now, apply a layer of green painter's tape, typically FrogTape Pro Grade painter's tape, over the existing blue tape and plastic sheeting. This green tape should be placed approximately 1/8 inch away from the edge of the window frame, creating a small gap between the green tape and the window frame. This gap is intentional and designed to hold caulk, ensuring a professional-looking, filled edge when painting or caulking. Ensure this tape is also firmly pressed down.

Goal: Create a precise, recessed line for caulk or a professional paint edge.
