Masking Tips To Spray Kitchen Cabinets

What happens here

For larger cabinet openings, especially those under the sink which may contain household items, use 3M masking film. Attach the film along the top edge of the opening using green FrogTape, ensuring a tight seal. Then, pull the film down to fully cover the opening and any items inside, securing the side and bottom edges with additional green or orange FrogTape. This provides full protection without needing to empty the cabinet entirely.

Goal: Protect large cabinet interiors and contents from paint.
