Inspect and Reinforce Masking

the body of the house. Here's a little closer view of how to mask this window. Got a blank window right here and got our master set up with our 72-in masking film. It takes a little practice getting this side to the right length, but you'll want to pull it. Just take a look at it. Measure it. See where it's going to fall. And then if it's a little bit too long, all you got to do is fold the tape over and tack it down. And now your plastic is mounted to the top of the window and it's ready ready to be pulled down. This is what the masking looks like at the top. A close-up view. It's ready to be pulled down and tacked down on the sides. I've got my extra roll of tape in my hand to keep it free from your hands. You can just keep it in your mouth. That's typically how I keep it. Going to pull your masking down or your plastic down. And we only keep one length of plastic in our vehicles. We use the 72 inch. If it's too long, we just fold it under. And some people trim it with a knife, but we just fold it under so we don't have pieces of plastic blowing around in the wind. And once I get it set pulled down to where I want it to, I just tack the sides about 3/4 of the way down. Just like that. And I'll begin uh masking the sides. We got the window, the plastic up top. And it's actually just tacked with some pieces of tape 3/4 of the way down. And then my plastic just extends to the bottom of the window. And we'll begin adding the tape to the sides. While you're learning how to mask, you could actually use inch and a half tape. If um you're pulling your plastic too short and it doesn't reach your tape, it's a little bit easier when you're learning to use inch and a half tape. But inch and a half tape is quite a bit more expensive and we try to keep our cost down. We've been masking for a long time and one inch just works just fine for us. the PL. Sometimes the plastic has the the edge isn't cut straight and there'll be spots where there's exposed vinyl or exposed windows. Just run another run of 1 in tape to cover those holes if that happens. or using the inch and a half tape covers that problem too. Windows masked with 3M 72in film and 3 in 3M 2020 1 in tape all the way around and we can spray and then it actually pulls off easily when we're done.
