Masking With A 3M Hand Masker

What happens here

Begin by gathering all necessary tools and materials. You will need a 3M Hand Masker, a roll of 3M 1-inch 2020 masking tape, and a roll of 3M 72-inch masking film. The 3M Hand Masker typically comes with a blade protector; remove this protector as it can make cutting the masking film more difficult and slow down the process. Ensure the masker is properly loaded with both the tape and the masking film. If you're unsure how to load the masker, consult a separate guide or video. Some hand maskers also come with a ladder hook, which can be useful for carrying the tool in your back pocket, though it's not essential for the masking process itself.

Goal: Gather and prepare necessary tools for efficient masking

Tools and materials

  • 3M Hand Masker 3M — Dispensing masking film and tape simultaneously
  • Blade Protector — To be removed for faster film cutting
  • Ladder Hook — Carrying the hand masker

What they say

Hide

a window to get ready to spray a house. And we're gonna be masking that window with a 3M hand masker and 3M masking film. And to complete this task, you're going to need a 3M hand masker. You're going to need we actually use 1 in 2020 tape. And we use 72 in uh masking film from 3M. And that masking film comes in a roll just like this. This is 72inch masking film. And the 3M hand masker comes with to actually use the masking film, you actually need to use not the paper blade, but the the sharp uh plastic blade. And to start off, we typically when we buy these maskers or we actually get them free in the boxes of masking film, it comes with this protector on it. It keeps you from getting cut. We typically always rip that protector off because it's a little bit harder to cut our masking and we can go a lot faster without that protector on. And then you're going to get your hand masker loaded up. And if you don't know how to load up your hand masker, I got a video to show you how to go about doing that. And then we also that some of the hand maskers come with this wire. This is kind of a ladder hook. And we actually use them to keep them in our back back pockets so we can have paper maskers and plastic maskers. And this brand new masker didn't come with one, so it doesn't have the hooks. But I've got one right here that has a hook in my back pocket. We're going to go about showing you how to mask this window. Got my masker loaded up. Got an extra roll of 3M 1 inch 2020 tape. We'll show you
