What happens here

To create a dust and overspray barrier, start by unrolling the FrogTape Double-Sided Containment Tape and applying it directly to the clean and dry door frame or trim. Ensure the side of the tape with the stronger adhesive is facing outwards, away from the trim, as this will be the side that grips the plastic sheeting. Work your way around the entire perimeter of the doorway (top, sides, and bottom if needed), pressing the tape firmly to ensure good adhesion to the surface. Next, take a piece of plastic sheeting, often referred to as visqueen, and carefully press it onto the outward-facing, stronger adhesive side of the tape. Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles to create a tight seal, effectively covering the entire doorway opening. The video shows the demonstrator applying the tape and then immediately attaching the plastic sheeting to it around the doorway.

Goal: Seal a doorway against dust and overspray

What they say

Hide

I'm gonna show you how you can actually contain a doorway, you know, and stop overspray, soft dust, silica dust from traveling throughout the house. Pretty simple and easy to use, it's like that. And one of the unique things about double-sided containment tape is it has, you know, two different adhesives on both sides of the tape. It's got a stronger adhesive on the top. So when I peel this off, my plastic is gonna stick on there and stick very strong. It's got a lighter adhesive on the backside of it. So when I peel it off my wall or peel it off my trim, it's not gonna pull the paint with it. Is this gonna tack up in place? So double-sided containment tape. Now I've got a doorway that's protected. I'll just run it all the way down with my viscreen. You can use heavy viscreen, light viscreen. When I'm all done, I can reuse my plastic, peel it off,
