How to use it
When you have to get, for example, a spray painted job, you have to carefully mask off areas that will not be painted, because overspray is inevitable. To use our masking film, simply unroll it, place it or lay it over the surface that needs protection, unfold it, then use a simple painters tape or masking tape to keep it in place. Remember that a bigger film is not always better: be sure to take the right size you need and cut the excess, otherwise you’ll get tangled.
A secret tip to use masking film
Before applying our pre-folded films on any surface, we suggest to pre-tape the borders with painter’s tape, even if masking film already has tape in it. Why? Because it makes de-masking a lot easier, pulling off everything very quickly, and it will cling to the surface even easier. Don’t worry about leaving residues or taking away paint, because our tapes won’t do it, we promise.
When should you use painting masking film instead of masking paper?
The film comes in rolls of various widths, and it can be loaded onto a film dispenser. Once it’s been applied you just unfold it and tape down the remaining edges. It works well for large areas that you need to protect from paint, such as windows, doors, and so on.
Masking paper works more or less in the same way that painting masking film does, but the main differences are that it is a little thicker and more durable, and it is rolled in a single layer so there’s no unfolding once it’s applied. We usually suggest using it for masking smaller areas when more controlled spray work is being done.
