PRIMING AND PAINTING WALLS Painting New Construction Sheet Rock Walls. Spraying new drywall

What happens here

Using a 3M hand masker, mask all windows and other large openings in the room. The hand masker quickly dispenses masking tape along one edge of the plastic film. Position the taped edge along the window frame or opening, pressing firmly to adhere the tape, then unroll the plastic film to cover the entire area. For higher windows or openings, use a step ladder to ensure proper reach and application. The presenter notes that for priming, extensive masking is not required, mainly focusing on protecting windows and door frames from overspray.

Goal: Mask all windows and large openings to protect them from primer overspray

So, here we go. Stay tuned. [Music] So, we're going around masking all these windows right now with just a masking film. It makes our masking pretty fast. We'll be using some paper masking too on some of the doors and stuff, but we're getting all the windows masked off. And there's very little masking that you have to do when you're priming. You're just shooting the primer. We're going to be shooting the primer on the walls and the ceilings, but there's nothing in here. There's no cabinets. There's no flooring in here. So, we're basically just covering the windows and then the doors. And then we'll begin the priming process with the PVA primer. If you haven't ever used one of these hand masters, I do have videos that will show you how to mask windows fast and how to actually use these hand masters. We got a video right here that'll teach you how to use the head master. Just click on that video and it'll take you right to that video or it'll take you to the video and show you how to use that hand masker. So, we're just continue on this masking and we'll begin the spraying. Got my sprayer set up outside and we'll begin spraying here pretty soon. [Music] Now, John's continuing the masking inside, and I've got the sprayer set up out here, and I'm going to be spraying the walls. Now, I'm going to be using a 30-in gun extension right here to make my reach a lot better. This is a singlestory house with just 8ft ceilings, so I'll be able to reach everything with a 30 inch extension. I'm
