What happens here

With the FrogTape perimeter established, the next step is to fill the exposed glass area using a hand masker loaded with 9-inch masking paper and 1-inch 3M 2020 tape. Position the hand masker to apply the paper and tape, ensuring the 3M tape slightly overlaps the inner edge of the FrogTape. The presenter also uses additional strips of 3M 2020 1-inch tape directly on the glass to fully cover any remaining exposed areas, emphasizing that this cheaper tape is ideal for filling larger, less critical sections. Press all applied tape and paper down firmly to ensure a tight seal and prevent paint seepage.

Goal: Cover the remaining glass area quickly and economically.

What they say

Hide

hand masker, fill it in. Take my other roll of tape, the 3M. This tape is a lot cheaper, so I don't fill it in with the frog tape. If I just use 3M 3M 20 21 in tape to fill it in just like that. Now your windows masked off and you're ready to go off onto the next pane. And what I what I do is I actually do two panes at a time and then move on. And I'll show you one more time how we go about masking it. Again, I usually this I got to be on a ladder to actually get to these two panes, but I'll work two panes at a time. So, I'm going take extend the tape beyond both edges. Make sure you got some nice straight lines with your tape.
