What happens here

Before applying any finish, it's crucial to prepare the wooden piece. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove any dirt, dust, or grease. Then, carefully mask off any areas of the wooden drawer or cabinet component that you do not wish to paint or stain. In this video, the bottom and sides of the drawer are being masked using brown masking paper and a specialized tape dispenser tool to ensure straight lines and secure adhesion. The goal is to protect these areas from the spray application, ensuring a crisp, clean finish line.

Goal: Protect specific areas of the wooden furniture from paint or stain.
