What happens here

Once your painting project is complete and the paint has thoroughly dried, carefully remove the 'Socket Blockers' from the electrical fixtures by gently peeling them away from the wall. The video emphasizes that these blockers are reusable; they can be conveniently stacked and stored back in their original box or another suitable container, ready for your next painting project. Finally, take the original cover plates that were removed in the first step and use a screwdriver to screw them back onto the electrical outlets and light switches, completing the restoration of your fixtures.

Goal: Restore electrical fixtures and prepare blockers for reuse

They are reusable and stackable. All you do is put them back in the box and you can reuse them again on another day. They are socket blockers, the fast and easy way to mask off switches and outlets.
