What happens here

To address older doors with failing adhesive or glue on the plastic film, use paper masking to avoid potential damage. Apply a new layer of tape around the perimeter of the door frame, ensuring a clean edge. Then, use the 3M Hand Masker with paper to cover the entire glass area, tacking it down in a few spots to prevent flapping from wind. This method is also ideal for concealing surfaces that do not need paint and are not susceptible to paint bleed.

Goal: Effectively mask doors that have compromised plastic film adhesion, using paper for protection.
