What happens here

Extend the masking process to all remaining windows and doors. Apply the masking film, securing it with tape around the perimeter of the glass and adjacent to the casings. The video highlights using 1.5-inch wide tape for areas requiring more adhesive surface area, especially under humid conditions, to ensure a strong hold. If tears occur in the masking film, immediately repair them with additional tape. For any gaps at the bottom of the film, fill them with additional paper and tack them down with tape to prevent paint from seeping underneath.

[Music] typically when I'm masking Windows like this I would be using inch tape too CU it's way more cost effective but just because of the moisture the humidity out here today using inch and a half because there's a lot more adhesive surface area it's not windy today so I don't necessarily have to tack it but I like to just run you know about an inch piece 2in piece of tape tack it pull it tight come down tack it pull it tight it's drier underneath here so the tape is actually sticking CU we're under an awning so it's not as humid underneath here [Music] side pull it tight the other side ning rip right there so we just have to tack it down where it ripped it's going to come all the way down it's going to be just short of the bottom cuz it's 72 in the door's taller 72 cuz that rip right there I'm just going to fill that tear in don't want anything getting behind [Music] that now what's left we're not spraying the spray will come right up to here we wouldn't actually get overspray on that window I'd just um Shield it with a cardboard Shield but you can just take a piece of masking right here and just fill this in with paper and then I'll just tack that over right here keep it from flapping over the rest
