What happens here

After applying the tape and plastic to the top and sides, pull the plastic sheeting down to below the window. Then, roll the excess plastic upwards from the bottom, creating a neat roll. Secure this roll of plastic tightly against the bottom edge of the window frame with another strip of Frog Tape Green. This method prevents loose plastic from blowing around or getting in the way during painting, maintaining a clean job site.

Goal: Neatly secure the plastic sheeting to prevent flapping and maintain a clean workspace.
