3M Hand-Masker M3000PAK Pre-Loaded Dispenser 2 in W Max Tape

Taping up protective plastic sheeting before a painting or home construction project has never been easy or fun for me. I usually ended up with globs of tape and torn plastic sheeting just from trying to tape the edges to the wall or door frame. This 3M Hand-Masker Starter Pack is great! It makes the task of taping up the plastic sheeting much easier since it is accomplished in one step. Once you secure the first couple inches on your surface, you pull the Hand-Masker sideways and it rolls out the tape which is automatically attaching itself to the plastic as you glide along. Once you have covered your area, you cut the tape and plastic with the sharp cutting edge on the Hand-Masker; then you gently pull down the folded-up plastic down towards the floor. You can then tape the sides or bottom as needed. For me, it took some practice to make it go smoothly. I realized that when it came time to tear off the plastic, I had to do it quickly and a little forcefully. My first attempt didn’t cut all the way through, which left a dangling bit of extra sheeting, but after I snipped that bit off, I was still able to unfold the plastic without having to do anything over again. I think this will really come in handy if I need to mask off multiple windows before painting (indoors or out). It will make this task so much faster than fumbling with tape and plastic separately. 3M provided me with the 3M Hand-Masker M3000 Starter Pack at no cost to try and evaluate.
