Abstract:
A masking panel to cover a protected first surface, such as a wall surface, floor surface, ceiling surface, door surface, door frame, fire place surface, window, window frame, window pane, decorative molding, chair rail or baseboard, while paint, stain, sealant or other chemicals is applied to an adjacent second surface. The masking panel includes a reusable protective material to be placed over at least a portion of the protected first surface. The reusable protective material includes at least one masking edge to create a masking boundary between the protected first surface and the adjacent second surface where the at least one masking edge has a masking edge shape that is pre-fabricated to substantially match the masking boundary. The masking panel additionally includes an adhesive fixed on the reusable protective material in the direction of the protected first surface along the at least one masking edge and at least one of the one or more holding edges to secure the reusable protective material to the protected first surface.
