What happens here

After securing the top, extend the plastic sheeting and tape down one vertical side of the door frame. Pull the plastic tight to prevent wrinkles or movement. Apply the tape firmly along the frame. If wind is an issue, once the plastic is pulled tight, immediately tack it down with an additional piece of painter's tape at the bottom to maintain tension and adherence.

Goal: Complete vertical masking along one side of the door frame.

So I'm gonna be masking a window right here. I'll show you a small window how I go about masking this. So I'm gonna put it about a half inch quarter inch. I'm gonna roll it out. I'm gonna gauge, I'm gonna look. Just take your time, get it right where you want it. Snap it, pulls my line. Now I'm gonna pull this tight, tack it down. Now the wind starts to pick up a little bit. This is why I do all take my inch and a half tape. I'm gonna tear off a piece of inch and a half tape like this, unfold it here. So you can see the wind's kicking up. It wants to blow it away. The side that is blowing it too, I'm gonna grab that. I'm gonna pull it down. I'm gonna tack it down. That's gonna hold it, that's gonna keep it from blowing away. Now I'm gonna take my inch and a half.
