What happens here

To enhance adhesion of the masking film, especially in humid or wet conditions, pull the masking film taut and secure it to the window casing by tacking small pieces of tape along the edges. The video demonstrates using 1-inch or 2-inch tape for this purpose. If the initial green Frog Tape is not adhering well due to moisture (e.g., from rain or high humidity), switch to a tape with stronger adhesion, like Frog Tape Orange. Apply the tackier tape (orange) over the less adherent tape (green) or directly to the casing to ensure the film stays in place.

Tools and materials

  • Frog Tape Orange
  • Masking Film with Integrated Tape — Initial masking of window glass, if conditions allow for proper adhesion

going to roll my plastic all the way down to below my window flip it back up and I actually roll it up instead of cutting it if I you know trim it off some guys trim it off then you just got a piece of plastic floating around the job site that could blow away in the Wind and you're chasing around plastic trying to keep a clean job site another little handy tip you can just take pull it down tight tack it and now it's easier to mask it's a good little tip if it's rain if it's windy outside I'm just going to roll this under my windows are wet because of the rain so might have a hard time getting are masking to tough having an issue with our masking sticking over here because of the moisture on the side of the house so I'm just going to try to use frog tape orange see if fog tape orange production tape will stick way tackier than the orange tape or the green tape see if that might hold and do the trick enough to just get it
