Masking to Spray on Stucco? Painting a Commercial Building Solo with an Inner Fed Roller!

What happens here

When masking in windy conditions, it is important to secure the plastic sheeting effectively to prevent it from flapping and potentially exposing surfaces to paint or tearing. After applying the top edge of the masking, pull the plastic down, tacking it tight with tape on the side edges. This temporary tacking helps hold the plastic in place while you continue to secure it. Alternatively, folding and bending the plastic neatly underneath the tape, especially at the bottom of windows and doors, can help prevent it from flapping and keep the work area tidy. The speaker also advises against cutting the plastic and instead tucking it under the tape to prevent it from flying around.

Goal: Prevent plastic sheeting from dislodging or tearing in windy conditions during masking.

if you have windy conditions if you just pull your masking down tack it tight that'll hold it while you're masking in the wind i always take my mats to pull them out turn them upside down in case any disaster happened you wouldn't get anything on the top of your mat you can pull them way out of the way too but turning them upside down definitely works we're right next to a highway so since i power wash it's already got a lot of dust on it it's just gonna keep yourself a duster brush and dust that off dust any cobwebs off also you got slightly windy conditions so again i'll show you i'll pull it down and tack it right here that'll hold it still
