What happens here
Secure the top and remaining vertical side of the extended masking film. Using the Hand-Masker tool, apply tape along the top edge of the door frame and down the second vertical side. Ensure the tape creates a tight seal against the trim, pressing down firmly to prevent any paint from seeping underneath. The film should be taut and wrinkle-free to provide maximum protection. Double-check all edges to ensure there are no gaps or loose sections where overspray could penetrate.
Goal: Secure the top and remaining vertical side of the masking film with tape, ensuring a complete and tight seal around the entire door frame to prevent overspray.
