Mask Off Switches and Outlets

you go from pan to wall all right so now I'm going to be masking off any light switches and um sockets so one of the things I do like to use is softball blockers it's an easy way to mask off switches in place and they are reusable all they have it the adhesive on them they just come on and off and you definitely want to mask these off I've got a socket over here previous painters didn't mask off and they got paint all over it if you don't have availability get socket blockers you can also just mask it off just with tape and what we do is we use an inch and a half tape to mask off our switches and plates so we can just take a piece of tape put it over the top and of course you know you don't have to go to this extent if you're really careful rolling but it's better safe than sorry if you accidentally just roll over this switch right here you're going to get paint down inside the switch it's going to cause a switch not to function properly so it's always best practice professional practice to cover your plates and the socket blockers actually work if you're spraying or rolling they're an excellent little device to use and once again they are possible too
