What happens here

Once the initial tape line is in place, use a 3M Hand-Masker tool to apply masking paper over the entire light fixture. Carefully wrap the paper around the fixture, ensuring complete coverage. Secure the masking paper with additional orange production tape, making sure to leave small sections of tape untucked at the ends, known as 'pull tags.' These pull tags will be crucial for quick and clean removal later, avoiding a tedious 'Christmas wrapping' scenario where tape is difficult to find and pull off.

Goal: Wrap the light fixture with masking paper, securing it with tape and creating 'pull tags' for easy removal.

that now I'm going to wrap another piece of paper even around that I'm always going to leave once again a little pole tag cuz what I don't want to do is what we call Christmas wrap this thing and make it difficult to remove all of our masking when we're done so we just set off the light because um we made it dark so um challenge I don't want it to get hot I'm going to see hopefully there's going to be a light switch that turns this off cuz what I want to do is mask this right here like this so I don't get anything bleeding
