Masking With A 3M Hand Masker

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

To start the masking process, position the loaded 3M hand masker at one top corner of the window frame. Ensure that the 3M 1-inch 2020 masking tape is set to apply only about an eighth of an inch (1/8 inch) from the very end of the vinyl window frame. This precise placement is key for clean lines and easy removal. Begin applying the tape and the attached 3M 72-inch masking film along the top of the window, pulling the hand masker smoothly and steadily to create a nice, straight line across the entire width of the window. Once you reach the opposite top corner, carefully cut the masking film and tape using the hand masker's blade. This action secures the top edge of the masking film, leaving the rest of the film ready to be extended downwards.

Goal: Secure masking film to the top of the window frame

What they say

Hide

of 3M 1 inch 2020 tape. We'll show you how we go about. We got this masking this window. We got the window right here. Going to get one corner started off at the top. And you want to get your tape set right to the very end, only about an eighth of an inch from the end of the vinyl on the window. Get a nice straight line at the top. Get a nice straight line. And you're going to pull your masking to right to another eighth of an inch to the other side of the window. And then you're going to cut your masking.
