- Painting French doors and windows without having to use tape sounds like a dream, right? But with masking liquid H20 it is absolutely possible to paint windows and multi-panel window doors without having to tape them! Masking liquid can be brushed, rolled or sprayed onto glass windows. It dries within 30-45 minutes and is ready for topcoat when it is completely clear.
Masking liquid is great for weekend Warriors and professionals.
It works as a primer so when you are painting multi-paneled windows or French doors you do not have to worry about it getting on to your previously painted surfaces or bare wood.

Tape is cheaper.
Just paint onto the glass then once dry run around it with a window scraper
Dude I’ve been looking for the name of this stuff for months!!! Thanks!!!
Nice, I'm glad you found it!
I used to mask them off. But ive learned to just cut them in the best i can then, come back with a razor and clean them up. Really not that bad.
Will keep this technique in mind for future projects. Thanks
Thanks, Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for the video! I can’t wait to try this.
You'll love this stuff !👌🏼
I did some French doors and I put a coat on the windows and before I put on the second coat the boss told me not to and that he was going to paint over it and the paint would act as a second coat
And when it was time to take off the liquid masking it didnt pero off we had to scrape it off
Definitely need 2 coats next time👍🏼
Awesome technique 👌🏻you just earn subscriber
Thank you, Very appreciated!
is it only for french door o r different applications regular windows , outside door etc whats your experience? thank you in advance
THIS IS GOLDDDD
Thank you!🙏🏽
Awesome idea !
Thanks!
Maybe ok for an amateur but for a professional decorater still time consuming im sure you agree.
Ifv you're doing multiple doors at a time this is the quickest way in my opinion. We spray our liquid mask on doors with an airless sprayer or and HVLP. It goes on real quick, then we spray the doors.
Love this stuff in new Zealand its seel and peel
I use it on every house i do if they have wooden windows so much faster and looks nice once peeled off
Use to be the guy who said real painters cut in but ive been converted lol
One problem ive had a few times though is when i brush it onto glass it kinda beads off certain parts could this be window clean , grease etc
Lol I love peeling that stuff, it's oddly satisfying😆
Awesome video! 🔵👍🔵
Thank you!👋🏻
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Juan is fine
Looks like a good way to paint French doors. What, however, is the benefit of doing this over just painting sloppily, using the trim knife like you did and then scraping excess paint off the glass with a razor blade scraper? The benefit is that I don't have to buy anything but maybe a few more razor blades and I don't spend time painting the glass. Thanks.
When you own the business you'll find ways to boost productivity. When you have 20 or 30 French doors to paint in a day you'll be glad you won't have to scrape anything 😂. But don't worry, productive thinking like that comes with experience over time come you'll get it too some day👍🏼
Thanks. I am retired and getting ready to paint 12 windows with 12 panes. Time is not money for me but I now see where you are coming from. I wish you well.
I wish you the best👍🏼@@mcconn746
seems to be as much work as using the old way--paint and razor blade scraper
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are very welcome! Glad I could help 🙂
I love using the liquid masking, especially on French doors. But I got burned this week. I painted two stained French doors. I used a mini roller to apply 2 coats of liquid masking. I brushed and rolled a coat of white primer. Sprayed two coats of a charcoal color. Liquid masking came off pretty good. However, there were real thin white lines on nearly all the panes. Looks pretty bad. I’m wondering if my brushing the primer on the panes penetrated deeper in the edges than the sprayed overcoat. Perhaps I should have used a brush also on the panes when applying the top coat...or maybe I should have brushed the liquid masking into the corners instead of rolling it. What a pain! Actually lots of Pain! Always learning.
Any other ideas.
Yeah, great stuff!
I had that problem before too
The trick is to pay attention to the angle of your blade.
You want to cut it underneath the wood in an acute angle between 0°-89°so that it wraps around it entirely. You think that might've been the culprit?
I think I would have been good if I had brushed the liquid masking down into the muntin.
I agree@@gregchenoweth8963
Can you really paint over it when its on the wood? How can this be a good primer?
It's very similar to exterior peel bond. It acts like a glue similar to wood glue that's paintable and peels off the glass.
What brushes do you recommend to paint such doors. I bought a wood clad $7k Andersen Patio Door and I don't want to mess it up....
I would say rent a sprayer and spray it. But if that's not something you're comfortable with then there are a few options. Shoot me a email and I'll give you some more info. Go to 518painters.com and send me a message.
Can I find that liquid mask in stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s??
Possibly. Ours don't have it but the Sherwin Williams store does.
never seen any painters ever use tape on windows and especially this stuff £40 for glass sealer we just cut them in much less time consuming
Do I have to put a second coat with the sprayer or hvlp?
I would do a second coat only because it peels easier if it's thicker.
Hi! Just watched your video and the boss and I had some French doors to paint. Figured we'd give this a whirl. Didn't turn out so well. We used the spray can version as our paint t store told my boss that people swear by this stuff. It didn't work out so well. We spent hours scraping this off the windows. It was horrible. Any advice? I would love to use this but, as of now, I'd never touch it again. Thanks!!
Oh man, I did the same thing the first time!
Always use the canned stuff and do at least 2 coats. It has to build up a thick layer to peel off easy.
Get a quart and try it on some test glass and you'll see what I mean. Try it on your bathroom mirror👍🏼
@@DIYhomeimprovementguy thanks for getting back to me! I will definitely give that a try. I really couldn't believe it. Not only did I have to scrape it off, I had to repaint the the door by hand cause the razor messed up the sash! Nightmare! Lol. Thanks again.
@@billyvelardo2612 bro I had to replace the glass because I scratched while scraping it🤦🏻♂️ Learned the hard way 😆
@@DIYhomeimprovementguy ya. That be a hard lesson right there. Lol.
Yup lmao
Looks way harder than masking. Excess, not access..
Buy a nice expensive four inch brush... Learn to paint right and left-handed and cut them French windows in... The secret is having an excellent 4 inch brush and a steady hand. Slightly dab your corners first and then Trace out the sides. Bada boom...Bada Bing...
Sounds about right when you are doing 1-2 doors but 5-10 you'll thank me ;)
why 4 inch?
You lost me at 50 or 6p dollars. Tape for me paint right away! Old school baby,old school.
We remove all doors and spray them on our projects, so while you're prepping the rest of the building the doors will have enough time to dry. If you only have 1 or 2 doors to do then go ahead and tape but when you're doing 10-20 doors good luck 😂
What’s not masking about that. Remind me of the name of the product? 😂
Point out to me where it says "No Masking"? I'll wait 🤦🏽♂️
