Masking Windows Fast. How to use a painters hand masker. How to mask windows.

What happens here

To maximize efficiency, the presenter advises working on two window panes simultaneously. Repeat the entire masking process for an adjacent window: first, apply FrogTape around its perimeter, extending it beyond the corners. Then, precisely trim the corners with the utility knife. Finally, use the hand masker with 9-inch paper and 3M 2020 tape, supplemented with additional 3M tape strips, to cover the central glass area, ensuring all tape overlaps the FrogTape and is pressed down firmly. This systematic approach allows for continuous workflow and reduces overall masking time, with the FrogTape ensuring sharp lines and the cheaper 3M tape optimizing material costs.

Goal: Mask multiple window panes in a fast and cost-effective manner.

Tools and materials

Make sure you got some nice straight lines with your tape. If you need to extend all four corners beyond, you can extend all four corners cuz you can trim them all of them really fast. I'm going to trim all my corners now. You work two windows at a time. It's a lot faster than working one window at a time. Fill it in with my 3M 2020 tape. It's cheaper. Frog tape's about $5 a roll. The 3M 2020 tape's about a dollar a roll. So, it'll save you a lot of money. You don't fill it in with a frog tape. Just like that. You can see how fast I mass those two windows. And if you have a French door that has eight little pane windows on it, you can see how quickly you can mask. Um, that's a fast fast easy method of masking windows using frog tape and using 3M 20 2020 tape, 1in tape with 9 in paper. I'm going to show you real quickly again how we go about masking these windows. Going to take put my tape on, extend it both edges over about an inch. The next run, this one doesn't actually extend over. The bottom one will extend over. And doing that to try to save some tape and have less cuts will make it go a lot faster. The less cuts you have, the quicker it's going to be masking your windows. That way I stick the tape on the window. Instead of having little bits and pieces of tape you throw on the ground, you can stick it someplace on the window to fill in the window. Just like that. Show you one more time. Got my two windows done. Now I'm going to fill them in. Once again, I'm using one inch 2020 tape because it's cheaper to fill it in. Make sure at the end when you're done, go along, put your tape all the way down so you don't get any leaks when you actually spray your windows or spray around it with your airless sprayer.
