Masking Tips To Spray Kitchen Cabinets

What happens here

Begin masking the face frames of the cabinet drawer openings using 1.5-inch green FrogTape. Apply the tape neatly and firmly to create a clean edge. Next, use 9-inch masking paper to cover the interior of the drawer openings. Fold the paper to fit the space and secure it with orange FrogTape, ensuring no gaps. Pay close attention to covering the drawer rollers to prevent any overspray from affecting their function.

Goal: Securely mask drawer openings and internal components.
