What happens here

Next, the presenter demonstrates how to mask a doorknob itself. He uses a handheld masking tool that dispenses both tape and masking paper simultaneously. He aligns the green FrogTape around the base of the doorknob, pressing it firmly to create a sharp edge. He then wraps the attached masking paper around the entire doorknob, effectively covering it. The paper is twisted and squeezed tightly to conform to the doorknob's shape, ensuring full coverage and preventing paint from reaching the metal. This technique allows for painting the door without removing the doorknob, creating a uniform look.

Goal: Completely cover the doorknob to prevent paint contamination.

this paint at least so i can at least get a nice straight line so i'm going to take frog tape and the frog tape will keep paint from bleeding under there and get a nice straight line around this doorknob and it's not ideal but once again it's going to look better than it is it's going to meet customer expectations and it's going to meet the customer's budget so now i'm going to put broadcast there which keeps paint from bleeding underneath i'll wrap the door knob and frog for the production tape which is cheaper and i just wrap it just like this and then i twist it up ball like this now that doorknob is masked we have a situation over here same kind of thing
