Mask a Door Jamb FAST & EASY | Pro Results with FrogTape & Painters Plastic for Airless Spraying

What happens here

Move to the opposite side of the door jamb and attach the second piece of painter's plastic. Tack the 'short end' of the plastic to the top tape line, then work your way down. The key here is to create a tight, secure seal. To do this, roll any excess plastic inward, towards the opening of the door. This rolling action helps to eliminate loose plastic that could 'flop in the wind' when a sprayer is used, preventing paint from getting behind the plastic. Secure the rolled-up plastic to the tape to maintain the tight seal and prevent leaks.

What they say

Hide

Same side, I'm batch doing things. So I'm gonna do the opposite side. So you're gonna take your plastic, find your plastic, your short end. This is the opposite side. So, short end, get it up here, tack it. Get just the end of it, tack it, get it up in there. Fold it, press it, just the end. Don't get it too far. Tack it, tack it, be stuck it. And your door jam, just pop it back out, tack it. All the way up. I'm gonna take seam. Here's you gotta seam right here, exposed. This would be a leak. So we take tack it to the tape right here, cover the seam, opposite side. We begin again, doing the same thing. So now opposite side, I come up here. That's why you make sure you never wanna be short. It's better to be too long, cause all I'm gonna do is roll it like this. And this takes up all the excess, bomb, tack it. So I'm getting it up here, stretching it out. Now I'm tacking it. Now I want this all tight, cause I don't want it, but we call flopping in the wind with the sprayer. So I'm rolling it underneath, tacking it. Rolling it underneath. You don't wanna roll it out, cause then it's gonna like flap out. So now I've got nice tight plastic.
