What happens here

Begin by positioning the masking film dispenser at the top of the door frame. Roll out the plastic sheeting and painter's tape along the top edge of the frame, ensuring the tape adheres firmly to create a clean, straight line. The presenter suggests positioning the tape about 1/2 to 1/4 inch onto the frame to provide a good paint line. In windy conditions, immediately tack down the free-hanging plastic with a piece of painter's tape in the middle to prevent it from blowing around.

Goal: Secure plastic sheeting and tape along the top edge of the door frame.

Wind picking up once the blow on my masking away, but I'm not gonna get frustrated. I can just grab it, tack that down quickly before it starts blowing around again. So I'm gonna be masking a window right here.
